World’s Oldest Marathon Runner Fauja Singh Dies In Road Accident At 114

Tragedy struck the global running community on Monday after news spread that Fauja Singh, the legendary 114-year-old marathon runner, died in a road accident at his village, Beas Pind in Jalandhar. He was hit by an unidentified vehicle while crossing the road at around 3:30 PM and later succumbed to his injuries at a private hospital.
Fauja Singh was born on April 1, 1911, and rose to international fame after he started running marathons at the age of 89, following his migration to England in 1993. Known as the ‘Turbaned Tornado’, Fauja Singh went on to become the oldest person to complete a full marathon in 2011 when he finished the Toronto Waterfront Marathon at the age of 100.
For a person who could not walk until he was five years old, running nine full marathons in his career spanning 14 years (2000 to 2013) was a stupendous feat. He was also the face of Adidas’ campaign ‘Impossible is Nothing’, which also included boxing legend Muhammad Ali and football legend David Beckham.
