Fauja Singh ran his first marathon at the age of 89

February 6, 2012

Eight World Records

Fauja Singh ran his first marathon at the age of 89 and already in 2003 broke a record in the 90+ bracket, when he finished one in 5 hours and 40 minutes.

This time he dominated eight world records for runners older than 100, ranging from 100 to 5,000 meter distances.

Starting Running At 80

Originally he had picked up running twenty years ago, after losing his wife and child, and it gave him a new meaning of life. Now he wants to participate in the 2012 Olympic torch relay for the London games.

“I have said it before: that I will carry on running, as it is keeping me alive”, Singh.
