In March this year, University of Edinburgh Sports Hall of Fame inductee, Dr Jasmin Paris MBE, made history by becoming the first woman (and one of only 20 people ever) to complete the Barkley Marathons in Tennessee, in its 38-year history.

Jasmin is one 8 ‘Moments’ that went to a public vote to decide the winner. The University are delighted to be supporting this award.

Launched in 2024 as a collaboration between the University of Edinburgh and the University’s Department for Social Responsibility and Sustainability, the Wild Peffermill initiative aims to restore and enhance natural habitats across the 27-acre Peffermill sports fields and is part of the University’s wider "Wild Campus" vision. 

Though still in its early stages, Wild Peffermill represents an exciting step on the journey to restore nature across the University campus. As a model for how sports venues can tackle climate and biodiversity crises, the progress at Peffermill will hopefully inspire other institutions to adopt sustainable practices, paving the way toward a greener future for sport and nature alike.
