In April 2011, Fauja Singh celebrated his 100th birthday. In October 2011, he ran the Toronto marathon and became the first person aged 100 years old to finish a marathon. But Fauja didn’t run his first marathon until the year 2000. Why not? This is his story.
Fauja was born in Punjab in India. He grew up on the family farm with his parents and brothers and sisters. He wasn't a strong child and he had problems with his legs. He didn’t walk before he was five years old. But he was happy and life was good after he learnt to walk. Later, Fauja got married and had six children. But his happy life didn’t continue. Unfortunately, his wife and two of his children – a daughter and a son – died.
Fauja then moved to London to live with another son, but he wasn’t happy. It wasn’t easy to forget about his life in India. So he started to go running. When he ran, he didn’t think about the past and didn’t feel sad. Then in 2000, at the age of 89, he ran his first London Marathon in a time of 6 hours and 54 minutes. And he didn’t stop then. From 2000 to 2011 he ran eight marathons. He said marathons changed his life and helped him feel happy again.
