Have ‘advances’ taken us backwards?
Dr Ron Hill, MBE really needs no introduction, so we’ll cut right to the chase…
“2010 is a significant year for me, as it is the 40th anniversary of me forming Ronhill Sports and also the 40th anniversary of me winning the Boston Marathon and the Commonwealth Marathon. From a running perspective it was my ‘purple patch’ as the previous year I had won the European Marathon, in Athens. My win in Boston was a course record (2 hours 10 minutes) and I was the first Briton to win this prestigious event. In July of that year, I won the Commonwealth marathon, in 2.09.28 – a world record.

Major Survey into Independent Sports Retailers
Your opinion matters a great deal to us. We would really like to hear your views and opinions on a wide variety of issues effecting the industry through this short survey into the sports trade.
Needless to say, all your answers will be completely confidential and non-attributable, and for every completed questionnaire we receive, £1 will be donated to the charity Sports Relief. If you do wish to leave your email address, we can also enter you into our prize draw. The survey should take around 5 minutes of your time to complete.
A summary of the results of the survey will be published in a future edition of SGB magazine, as well as being released to the national press.
