Dharam Pal Singh Gujjar, a champion marathon runner from rural India, is 124 years old.
Claimed to be the world’s oldest marathon runner.
But the officials from USA are not accepting his date of birth.
He lacks a birth certificate, due to the fact that they were not regularly issued in remote villages in India at the time of Singh’s birth.
He refers to his (1) passport, (2) voter ID card, and (3) tax identification card pan, all government issued identity documents. To prove his date of birth.
All of the documents list as October 6, 1897. Born in Meerut, India.
If Dharam is as old as he says, that would make him the oldest man alive.
Singh practices yoga and meditation. He says that his daily diet consists of:
A concoction that he makes from leaves from various plants and trees.
Which he forages in order to make a vegetarian chutney.
He says that, he is running to bring pride to India.
He says:
“I run in the streets of the village and the kids run along with me.
As long as I’m alive, I will keep running.
I’ll run until I die.”
