Join us at the SALDEF National Gala in Washington, DC, on Saturday, October 12, 2013, as we recognize Fauja Singh with the Sikh Image Award.
The world’s oldest marathon runner, the 102 year-old Fauja Singh has run in marathons across the world. A world record holder, Fauja Singh has been featured in campaigns by Adidas alongside David Beckham and Muhammad Ali. When he runs, Fauja Singh says he “feels connected to God.” He uses his marathons to support charities and bring awareness of the Sikh experience, as he did when he ran in the New York City Marathon in 2003. He set the world record for fastest time by a runner above the age of 90 in 2003 and became the first 100 year old to complete a marathon in Toronto in 2011. He carried the Olympic torch as part of the 2012 London Olympic Games.
Free child care onsite and family photograph area available.
