The oldest marathon runner in the world, Britain-based Fauja Singh, has ended on a high at the ripe age of 101 years - but that is not the end of the road for him. Not yet.

As the Indian-origin athlete completed the 26-mile London Marathon Sunday in a record time of seven hours and 49 minutes, he announced this would be his last race.
