RIP Fauja Singh Ji.. Sponsored by Adidas at 93. He really did prove that Impossible is Nothing.. 

Fauja Singh wasn’t just a marathon runner. He was a phenomenon. A man who picked up long-distance running at the age of 89 and went on to run marathons around the world, including London, New York, Toronto and Mumbai..

He became the first 100-year-old to complete a full marathon, finishing the Toronto Waterfront Marathon in 2011. And in 2004, at the age of 93, he was signed by adidas for their global “Impossible Is Nothing” campaign, appearing alongside the likes of Muhammad Ali and David Beckham. That says it all.

I had the privilege of meeting Fauja Singh on several occasions over the years. He once visited my home. He was our distinguished guest at the Asian Football Awards at Wembley Stadium. And again at Lord’s, for the Asian Cricket Awards. Always kind, always humble, always inspiring..

What made it even more special for me was seeing him proudly running in his brightly coloured turbans, carrying the Sikh identity with so much grace. For so many around the world, he was more than a runner – he was a symbol of resilience, hope and visibility..

Fauja Singh reminded us that age doesn’t define what’s possible. His achievements will forever be something to marvel at.

Rest in peace, Baba Fauja Singh Ji. Your story will continue to inspire generations to come.. 🙏🏼🕊️
