Jason Momoa himself was 25 or 26 yo when he first appeared on Atlantis. Ronon was a runner for 7 years and was in the military before that, so he was a teenager when he was captured, is that correct? Or was his character older than he was?

How old was Ronon supposed to be?

Huh. I didn't realize Momoa was that young when he started on Atlantis.
Like you, my operating assumption for character ages is usually their actor's age at time of filming/airing, but in this case (as you point out) that doesn't make much sense.
I don't think we were ever told on-screen what Ronon's age was, but you're absolutely right in that it appears he must've been older than his actor."A society grows great when old men plant trees, the shade of which they know they will never sit in. Good people do things for other people. That's it, the end." -- Penelope Wilton in Ricky Gervais's After Life

Ronon's physiology is unique. Not only can the Wraith apparently not feed on him, but he also fully recovered from a stunner blast within seconds. He is a dangerous ally to have, as his abilities and personal motivations remain unknown. But he is loyal to Sheppard and his new friends, and puts the fight against the Wraith -- all Wraith, in any form they might take, anywhere and at any time -- as his highest priority.

I looked at the Stargate Wiki both German and English, cannot find his age though. Only that it is assumed that his resistance to Stunners comes from being hit with them so often as he was a Runner still. It is also stated that he is stronger than normal humans, but nothing about that he does not age normally or anything

I am going with he looks young for his age, or the military trained them at a younger age.
