We are saddened to hear about the passing of Fauja Singh In 2011, he became the world’s oldest person to run a full-length marathon at 100 – an inspiration to both young and old alike. Singh was a former poster boy for Adidas. We extend our heartfelt condolences to friends and family at this difficult time. #faujasingh

We’ve received the following message from Harmander Singh: ‘It is with the utmost sadness that I can confirm our icon of humanity and powerhouse of positivity Fauja Singh has passed away in India. He succumbed to injuries caused by a vehicle while crossing the road close to his home. His running club and charity Sikhs In The City will be devoting all of its events until the Fauja Singh Birthday Challenge on Sunday 29 March 2026 to celebrate his life of success and achievements and doubling the efforts to raise funds to building the Fauja Singh Clubhouse on the route in Ilford where he used to train.
