The over 70s

Many race walkers are still active and the European and World Masters results at 10km, 20km and 50km are certainly  proof of that

Centurion Gerrit de Jong has compiled a list of walkers aged 70 or older who have walked 100 miles within 24 hours in a certified Centurion competition

Truly a testament to Centurions  who are still pounding out the miles....
