Ron Skilton Memorial Half Marathon & 12k
19th October 2025
Following the sad death of our Treasurer and good friend, Ron Skilton, to Motor Neurone Disease in December 2005, this event was added to our Green Events calendar. In his younger years Ron was a keen runner and cyclist so we felt that a half marathon would be a fitting tribute and a way to remember him and celebrate his life.
Green Events are trying out a new route in 2025 for the half marathon mainly off-road and approx 13.25 miles long. New from 2024 is a 12k option. The scenery is magnificent and the course challenging as the area is mountainous. Feedback from previous years is that it is great fun, well marked and marshalled, and people are keen to come back and do it again! Race starts at 11am from the Neuadd Arms.
​
From 2025 we are aiming to make this a cupless event. Therefore all runners should bring their own collapsible water containers/ reusable bottle etc. for refilling at the water stations.
​The competition is open to any persons over the age of 16yrs
