Over 70s record

John set an Isle of Man over 70s marathon record of 4:35:27 in the Salclear Isle of Man Marathon last August but Ray Shooter improved on this in China recently. Last week's Manx Independent reported that he ran 4:27:18 in his 175th marathon!

The photo above was taken when he was still young - in the 2003 Castletown to Peel run.

John Grady is the athlete officially credited with the M70 record. Looks like his record has not lasted too long though!

Sorry, I meant to say John Grady (after referring to your list of records David).
