RON HILL – THE RUNNERS’ RUNNER

To mark Ron’s 80th year Sports Tours International made a short 20 minute documentary about him.  Interviews with Ron about his life, his races, first marathon, wins, Olympics and now, also string vests, split shorts and tracksters.  Other luminaries and friends talking about him.  How he started running barefoot because he forgot his shoes, how he psyched out Gaston Roelants.

And Ron now, being cheered and starting the race named after him – the Dr Ron Hyde 7, last stage of the Tour of Tameside which he started.

For anyone interested in running and how it was it’s really good,  so good I thought it was worth posting.  Follow the link, scroll down and hit the video.  Enjoy.
