Who is Fauja Singh? An evergreen, sourced profile: biography, key facts and career.
Fauja Singh (died 14 July 2025) was a British Indian marathon runner. At the time of his birth in Punjab province in British India, birth certificates were not typically issued, so his age could not be verified by third parties. Later in life, he became a marathon runner, participating in marathons all over the world. He beat a number of world records in multiple age brackets, but none of his times were ratified as records. His personal best time for the London Marathon (2003) was 6:02, and his marathon best, claimed for the 90-plus age bracket, was 5:40 at the claimed age of 92, at the 2003 Toronto Waterfront Marathon. He died in Punjab in 2025, in a hit and run incident.
