World's oldest Marathon runner hangs up his shoes...

Over the weekend, 101 year old Fauja Singh, from Ilford, east London, who is 101 years old, finished the Hong Kong 10 km in a time of 1:32:28. This was his last race in a career which only started when he was 89!

Back in 2000, he ran his first Marathon in London. Since then he has run another eight Marathons with his best time of 5:40 being set in Toronto in 2003.

In 2011, he shot to fame when he became the oldest Marathon runner ever at the age of 100.

Fauja Singh was originally a farmer from the Punjab in India and moved to Britain in the 1960s, and started running when he was 89 after he lost his wife and his fifth son. "From a tragedy has come a lot of success and happiness," Mr Singh said, before the race.
