Yes, 100 years old.
On thursday he will attempt to run a marathon.
He started running at the young age of 89.
There is a video of him running in the link too.

Hmm.. wonder how far he'll get..
Re: Fauja Singh - the 100 year old sprinter
I wonder how many of us could outrun him...
I would suspect that he is way healthier than me - especially as he is ready to run a full marathon!
He doesnt look a hundred either.
Re: Fauja Singh - the 100 year old sprinter
Wow
What's his secret to such good health I wonder?
Re: Fauja Singh - the 100 year old sprinter
Good on him! Wish his reason for getting back into running wasnt so sad though 🙁 and dont break a leg Fauja! Ya just canny afford it
Re: Fauja Singh - the 100 year old sprinter
long distance running is something that doesn't really decrease much into old age.
a 65 year old should be able to run a marathon at the same speed they did when they were 19 (providing they are healthy etc), the peak age is about 27.
and women are roughly equal to men in long distance running over a distance of 50 miles.
in the genes.
jeans don't help with running.

He should've been called fauji, then I could've said 'Its great to see him soldiering on'
Wow! MA
