Oldest Woman To Complete A Marathon

Those who run marathons on a consistent basis are aware of the grueling training and execution needed for the event; a physical endurance test that can challenge even the most athletic and experienced runners. Gladys Burrill, 92 years old, met this challenge with a positive attitude to become the Guinness Book of World Records Oldest Female Marathon Finisher. She is thus rightly nicknamed Gladyator by her local newspaper.
