73 year old Ron Hill is the former 1969 European and 1970 Commonwealth marathon champion and is still equal 10th all-time on the UK marathon rankings with his 1970 time of 2:09:28. He is perhaps better known for his record-breaking streak of having run at least a mile every day since December 1964. His nomination was rejected on the basis that there were too many applications.

Ron Hill is a legend. Met him at Ballycotton10 a few years ago. What a man..!
There is bound to be some dodgy decisions about who is in and out, but in his case it is a no brainer.
Shame when something like this happens to cast a shadow over a great event.
Nothing new in this John the great Ron Hill has been ignored on several occasions by the British establishment.
