Russell Bowling: 70-Year Old 6 Star Finisher

Russell Bowling joins Ben Kelleher from North Carolina, where he discusses recently earning his Abbott World Marathon Majors Six Star medal, in London, having started that journey nearly 34 years ago. However, he doesn’t intend to leave it another 34 years, as this year he is looking to complete all 7, including Sydney, in the space of 12 months, to celebrate turning 70. From being told to give up running, after life-changing surgery, to completing over 35 marathons and often coming 1st in his age rankings since. Russell defies the odds, embraces challenges and is an inspiration to all.#RFTB is a BKDMC production, supported by Runna, Veloforte & Podcast Room.
