50-year milestone but Ron keeps on running

A certain sportswear company once had a motivational slogan which simply said — ‘You Either Ran Today or You Didn’t’.

For 76-year-old Ron Hill, that’s something he’s been able to answer in the affirmative for the past 50 years.

And this morning, in the lowly setting of a 5km park run in Manchester, he will mark a half-century of never missing a single day of running since December 20, 1964.
