Charlie Ramsay, creator of the classic 24-hour Scottish mountain marathon which bore his name, Edinburgh commonwealth pool instructor and Munroist 1003, died peacefully and at home in February 2025 at the age of 81.

With the family’s blessing, the record keeping and enquiries relating to the Round are currently looked after by a small group of Charlie’s friends and hill runners who know the route intimately, while plans are progressed for Charlie’s legacy to continue more formally. This new website is part of that process.

Charlie was an inspiration to many, always generous with his time and community spirited. He believed in ‘Sport and Recreation for all’ and that is the spirit in which Ramsay’s Round will continue.

We will update this page with more information when we have it.

In the meantime, completions are still being recorded - get in touch via the completions page.
