Fauja Singh - The oldest person ever to complete a marathon

Fauja Singh

The oldest person ever to complete a marathon

100 year-old Fauja Singh finishes Toronto's marathon to become the 1st centenarian to ever complete a 42kms marathon

Fauja Singh (born April 1, 1911) is a centenarian Sikh. He is a marathon runner of Indian descent who is a world record holder in his age bracket. His current personal best time for the London Marathon (2003) is 6 hours 2 minutes, and his marathon record, for age 90-plus, is 5 hours 40 minutes, at the age of 92, at the Toronto Waterfront Marathon 2003. Singh has stated, "I won't stop running until I die. The next target, God willing, is to be the oldest marathon runner ever." and, "At the time when people start retiring, I thought of running at the age of 63...and today I won the marathon at 93 years of age.”

In 2004, Singh was featured in an advertising campaign for sportswear manufacturer Adidas alongside David Beckham and Muhammad Ali.

Singh, who is a vegetarian, holds UK records for the 200 m, 400 m, 800 m, mile and 3000 m for his age group, records all set within a single 94 minute period. At the age of 100 (and a half), Singh attempted and accomplished eight world age group records in one day, at the special Ontario Masters Association Fauja Singh Invitational Meet, held at Birchmount Stadium in Toronto, Ontario Canada. Timed by officials in Canada, Singh ran the 100 metres in 23.14,200 metres in 52.23, the 400 metres in 2:13.48, the 800 metres in 5:32.18, the 1500 metres in 11:27.81, the  Mile  in 11:53.45, the 3000 metres in 24:52.47 and the 5000 metres in 49:57.39. Each time bested the previous record in that age division (some events had no previous record holder as nobody over age 100 had ever attempted to run the distance). Some of his marks are significantly superior to the listed world record in the M95 age group as well. Three days later, on October 16, 2011, Singh became the first 100 year old to complete a marathon, running the Toronto Waterfront Marathon in 8:11:06. However, it took Singh over 14 minutes after the gun to cross the start line, so the official time submitted for the record will be 8:25:17.

Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi

(2 October 1869 – 30 January 1948)

Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram (sometimes called Ram Dhun) is a popular bhajan (Hindu devotional song) that was a favorite of Mahatma Gandhi. The version that is most common was put to music by Vishnu Digambar Paluskar, and was sung by Gandhi and his followers as they walked during the 241 mile Salt March to Dandi.

(From Wikipedia)

The version popularized by Vishnu Digambar Paluskar and the Gandhian movement:

रघुपति राघव राजाराम, पतित पावन सीताराम

सीताराम सीताराम, भज प्यारे तू सीताराम

ईश्वर अल्लाह तेरो नाम, सब को सन्मति दे भगवान!!

Transliteration (ITRANS):

raghupati raaghav raajaaraam,

patit paavan siitaram

siitaaraam, siitaram,

bhaj pyaare tu siitaram

Iishvar Allaah tero naam,

sab ko sanmati de bhagavaan

Translation:

Chief of the house of Raghu_Ram, Lord Rama,

Uplifters of those who have fallen, Sita and Rama,

Sita and Rama, Sita and Rama,

O beloved, praise Sita and Rama,

God and Allah are your names,

Bless everyone with this wisdom, Lord.

Original lyrics:

Raghupathi raghava rajaram

Pathithapaavana sitharam

Sundhara vigraha meghashyam

Ganga tulasi salagram

Bhadra girishwara sitharam

Bhakatha janapriya sitharam

Janaki ramana sitharam

Jaya jaya raghava sitharam

Sometimes these words are added:

जय रघुनंदन जय सिया राम जानकी वल्लभ सीताराम

Transliteration:

Jai Raghunandan, Jai Siyaa Raam,

Jaanakii Vallabh Siita Raam.
