Ron Hill The Runner’s Runner, a documentary film celebrating the achievements of marathon legend Dr Ron Hill MBE. The film, produced by us, features Ron alongside his wife May Hill, and some of his close friends and colleagues from the running community including Dianne Modahl MBE and former 10km World Record holder and former race director of the London Marathon, Dave Bedford OBE,
During his career Ron has run in two Olympic Marathons (Tokyo 1964 and Munich 1972), and has a personal marathon record of 2:09:28. In 1970 he became the first British runner to win the Boston Marathon, by a wide margin, shattering the course record by three minutes with a time of 2:10:30. The film features archive footage from some of his greatest achievements including the Olympics and a few early races at the start of his running career.
In addition to his running achievements, Ron, who has a PhD in textile chemistry, pioneered fabric products for sport including wrap-over shorts, mesh vests, and waterproof running jackets and reflective strips.
