93 And Going Strong

November 3, 2021 5:08 am Published by

A 93-year-old runner broke his own Canadian record Sunday morning, completing five kilometres in 36 minutes and 29 seconds. 

Canio Polosa flew over the finish line at Springbank Park in London, as part of the Halloween Haunting race. 

His previous Canadian Masters Athletics record for his age group was five kilometres in 37 minutes and 41 seconds. 

Polosa started running at age 60. 

The retired doctor practiced internal medicine and taught at McGill University at the time. 

At 80, he took a break from running to rest his knees. 

That break proved to be temporary when he laced up his running shoes once more in his 90s.
