Britain-based Fauja Singh, who at 101 is the oldest marathon runner in the world has decided to end his love affair with full marathons.
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. But he says the London Marathon was only his last full marathon - he will continue to run smaller races, from five kilometre ones to half marathons.
