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, website and enquiries relating to the Round are now the responsibility of Carnethy HRC, Charlie’s local club, of which he was a life member.

Graham Nash and Jon Gay, have been appointed by the club’s committee to maintain the website and verify any completions. They can be contacted by emailing : ramsaysround@gmail.com

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.
