M80-99: Athwal Claims the Age Group Crown

• Sole finisher and champion: Herdev Athwal, 80, crossed in 1:28:37 — the only M80-99 competitor at the Two Cities Marathon 10K.
• Pace: Athwal covered the course at 14:16 per mile.

Herdev Athwal of Fresno, CA had the M80-99 age group entirely to himself on October 29th — and he made it count, finishing the Two Cities Marathon 10K in 1:28:37.

At 80 years old, simply toeing the line is a statement. Athwal did more than that — he covered 6.2 miles through Fresno at 14:16 per mile and saw it through to the finish. The M80-99 age group had one entrant, one finisher, and one champion: Herdev Athwal.
