Ronhill presents itself as a brand born out of its founder’s experience, Ron Hill, and dedicated to runners for more than five decades. The article states that few brands can claim an as “authentic” an heritage, and describes today’s Ronhill as a major name in running, with a technical range of apparel and accessories designed for varying levels.
The history of Ronhill begins in 1970, the year Ron Hill, “Dr Ron Hill, MBE”, founded Ronhill Sports. The article describes him as a leading figure: a distance runner and scientist, with a doctorate (PhD) in textile chemistry. He is presented as a former European champion, Boston and Commonwealth, with a marathon personal best of 2:09:28 in 1970, and also as the holder of several world records.
The brand then links its legacy to a partnership in Ireland, with the Irish event. Ronhill announces it is the official partner of the Irish Life Dublin Marathon, presented as a major appointment through the streets of Dublin, where “26.2 miles” are covered by participants, balancing performance research, community engagement and other motivations.
Lastly, the article claims that Ronhill has applied its expertise to trail running thanks to the “Freedom Ultra” shoe.

It combines “Matryx®” and “Outsoles by Michelin”, and lists a recommended price of €170.
