[Stargames ®]

The saying "it's never too late" applies to this incredible marathon record-setter. Fauja Singh of India is the world's oldest long-distance runner and the first to finish a marathon at the age of 100 years old. Nicknamed the "Turban Tornado," Singh began his career as a marathon runner at the age of 89. At that time, he finished the marathon in 6 hours and 54 minutes.

A few years later, Singh set a new record with a 5-hour, 40-minute marathon at age 92. At the age of 101, he ran his last race in Hongkong. All in all, Singh reached the finish line a total of nine times in cities such as New York, Toronto, and London since he began marathon running at age 89.
