Randhir Chauhan, 80, is the oldest runner in the 42.2 km full marathon category of the Tata Mumbai Marathon (TMM) to be run on Sunday, January 19. Chauhan, who splits his time between Ahmedabad and the US, is in Mumbai, living in Borivli ahead of his Sunday run. He said with a laugh, “I will be 81 in April. I am running a distance which is just a little over half my age. This will be my ninth attempt at the full marathon in Mumbai. I have crossed the finish line all eight times. Last year, I was unable to compete as I had undergone a surgery. This year, I anticipate that the surgery may affect timing. I aim to finish in seven hours. The run starts at 5 am and the cut-off is 12.30 pm… I will finish within that.”
