An 80-year-older runner has made history as the oldest person to complete the Badwater 135, nicknamed “the world’s toughest foot race”. He had previously completed the Badwater 135 in 2008 and 2014. That year, a video of him limping, and at times crawling, to the finish line drew tens of thousands of views. “It was just the most amazing crew I’ve ever had in 20 years of doing this stuff,” Becker told GearJunkie. He was 60 when a friend convinced him to run his first marathon, Becker told the Los Angeles Times.
