Our oldest parkrunner has finished all his runs, for good
Colin Thorne, aged 102, of Whangarei, New Zealand, has done his last parkrun.
R.I.P.
Colin first joined the parkrun family on 21 January 2017, already in his early nineties, quietly showing the world that it is never too late to begin something extraordinary. Over the next nine years, he completed an incredible 265 parkruns across 21 locations and volunteered 16 times.
Another notable mention; he completed the New York marathon at 89.
Now it is up to other centenarians to see if they can get to 103. Who is out there?
