One man stood apart from the rest in Saturday’s Snickers marathon in Albany, Georgia.

His name is Charlie Gregory and he has run marathons in every state.

And that’s not all on Saturday he also turned 75-years-old.

“It’s my 75th birthday and I was trying to find a marathon and I found this one, there wasn’t very many today. The weather also worked out pretty good we were expecting it to be a lot warmer but we got through before it got really hot, the course was beautiful.” said Charlie Gregory, Runner.

Charlie completed the 26.2 mile race in 5 hours and 59 minutes.

His next goal is to take his number of completed marathons to 100.

(That’s good enough inspiration for me before I head off to the gym)
