RON SKILTON HALF MARATHON
RON SKILTON HALF MARATHON
DATE: 21ST OCTOBER 2006
 
 
 
 
 
 

Following the sad death of our Treasurer and good friend, Ron Skilton, to Motor Neurone Disease in Dec 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.
The route for the half marathon is a figure of 8, mainly off-road and approx 13 miles long. The...

MAN VERSUS HORSE MARATHON
MAN VERSUS HORSE MARATHON
DATE: 9TH JUNE 2006
 
 
 
 
 
 

The Man v Horse Marathon began in June 1980 following a chat over a pint in the Neuadd Arms Hotel. The then Landlord, Gordon Green overheard two men discussing the relative merits of men and horses. The enterprising Gordon, never one to miss an opportunity to promote Llanwrtyd Wells and improve business at his hotel, decided to put it to the test. And so began Green Events and its first, longest standing and now internationally acclaimed event, The Man...
