British marathon runner Fauja Singh dies in road accident aged 114
His London-based running club and charity, Sikhs In The City, confirmed his death and said their upcoming events in Ilford, east London, will be a celebration of his life and achievements. Singh – who lived in Ilford from 1992 – made his name by beating a number of records for marathon times in multiple age brackets. Fauja Singh has died aged 114 (John Stillwell/PA) The centenarian became an inspiration for countless athletes by running marathons past the age of 100. A profile on the Olympics website said Singh was born in Punjab, then under British rule, on April 1 1911 and was the youngest of four children in a farming family. He was said to have suffered from thin and weak legs, and was unable to walk until he was five years old. He moved to England and settled in east London with his son after the death of his wife Gian Kaur in Jalandhar. It was not until 2000, aged 89, that he took up running, quickly rising to fame by completing his maiden marathon in London in six hours and 54 minutes. This time knocked 58 minutes off the previous world's best in the 90-plus age bracket. Saddened to hear about the passing of #FaujaSingh I had the honour of meeting him. A truly inspiring man. His discipline, simple living, and deep humility left a lasting mark on me. A reminder that age is just a number, but attitude is everything. Rest in power, legend. 🏃♂️ — Preet Kaur Gill MP (@PreetKGillMP) July 14, 2025 Singh ran numerous marathons, completing the 2003 Toronto Waterfront Marathon in five hours and 40 minutes, his personal best. On October 16 2011, in Toronto, the runner is thought to have become the first centenarian to run a marathon. Guinness World Records described it as an 'inspirational achievement' but said it was unable to recognise the feat without the necessary proof of his date of birth. Singh did not have a birth certificate, as official birth records were not kept in India in 1911, although the date of birth on his passport was April 1 1911, and he received a personal letter from Queen Elizabeth II on his 100th birthday. He was a torchbearer for the London 2012 Olympics and retired at the age of 101. Harmander Singh, Fauja Singh's coach at Sikhs In The City, confirmed his death in a statement posted to the running club. 'Dearest runners. It is with great sadness that we can confirm our icon of humanity and powerhouse of positivity Fauja Singh has passed away in India. Aged 114 years old. 'He succumbed to injuries caused by a vehicle accident 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 March 29 2026 to celebrate his life of success and achievements. 'We will be doubling the efforts to raise funds to building the Fauja Singh Clubhouse on the route in Ilford where he used to train. 'In lieu of flowers please donate to his Clubhouse Appeal so we can carry on his legacy to encourage the world to keep fit and stay positive.' Deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Sardar Fauja Singh Ji. He was legendary – a man who continued running until he was 101. He was a global Sikh icon, that inspired millions across the world.

British marathon runner Fauja Singh dies in road accident aged 114
The athlete – believed to be the oldest runner to complete a marathon – was hit by a car and suffered fatal injuries while trying to cross a road in his birth village Beas Pind, near Jalandhar in Punjab, on Monday, according to reports in India.

Scotland World Cup hopes and Euro ambitions on agenda for Hibs striker Bowie
Close season interrupted - but first Scotland cap worth the extra graft Sign up to our Hibs football newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up! Did you know with a Digital Subscription to Edinburgh News, you can get unlimited access to the website including our premium content, as well as benefiting from fewer ads, loyalty rewards and much more. Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... A disrupted summer was definitely a price worth paying for the honour that interrupted Kieron Bowie's holiday plans. If anything, the experience has simply made him more eager to take on extra work – for Hibs AND Scotland, all going well. Awarded his first senior international cap by Steve Clarke during the June international window, the former Fulham prospect coming off the bench for the final dozen minutes or so of a one-sided away win over lowly Liechtenstein, Bowie is definitely eager to prove that his pedigree with Scot Gemmill's Under-21s can be translated into World Cup goals for the 'big' team. Have inherited the No. 9 jersey at club level for the start of his second season in green-and-white, the physically imposing centre forward harbours realistic ambitions to play the same role for his country one day. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Looking forward to European opportunities after helping David Gray's team to a third-place finish in the Scottish Premiership, despite requiring surgery on a hamstring injury that hampered his ability to contribute, Bowie should be leading the line for Hibs when they take on FC Midtjylland in their Europa League second qualifying round tie later this month. He's eager to get started, despite a distinct lack of time off. 'It's mad because us lads that were away (on international duty), we've only been in for just over a week, and then we've got Midtjylland in less than two weeks' time so it's a very quick turnaround,' he said, adding: 'But we feel in a good place and just need to get back to our fittest and get playing well. 'I think in terms of time off I had around three weeks, maybe four weeks-ish, so it's not long. It's obviously alright, but it's not long at all. 'I had two weeks off after the Rangers game and then we were away for eight or nine days. Then I had another week-and-a-half, two weeks off after that, which is good from the club to let us have that extra break when the other lads are in a week earlier than us. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'It's good to have that time off, but you can't really switch off when you've got two toddlers at home. I should have just came and hid in here! 'I feel like at the end of the season I was just getting into the gear that I'm in and I feel like now I just need to do as much as I can and just play the best I can play.' Eagerly anticipating an increased workload in the campaign ahead, Bowie pointed out: 'I've played in England before obviously, and that's Tuesday, Saturday, Tuesday, Saturday. It's relentless down there, so I've been used to it previously, but then obviously with my injury and stuff, it's sort of taking a toll on my body. But I'm hoping just to try and get back to fit as I can and be able to adapt to being able to play Thursday, Sunday. 'I mean, obviously I want to do as much as I can in the league. But then also now to play in Europe is a big thing for us as a club and hopefully I can do well in that as well. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'I need to do as much as I can now, because during the season you don't get the opportunity to do as much running as you can do now. You just got to do as much as you can to put yourself in stead for the season. 'I'm definitely a lot closer to my best now, especially with a pre-season. I've helped myself a lot during off-season, and hopefully I can look to more goals this season.' International 'honour' sparks desire for more caps More goals would be grand, of course. Not just from a Hibs perspective. With Scotland heading into a World Cup qualification campaign, Clarke is in a position that will have been familiar to many a predecessor – namely, crying out for an international-class centre forward. Bowie, who says he'll get the jersey from his Scotland debut framed, insisted: 'I mean, to play for Scotland, it's just an honour. And then hopefully in the future I can get more call-ups, and we'll see what happens. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'No, unfortunately my family didn't travel out to see me. They just watched it on the TV. It's a long way to go, just to go to Liechtenstein and then not even sure if I'm going to play! 'I just sort of take it on my stride. I don't really overthink things too much, I just sort of take it day by day and see what happens.'
