New York Marathon - Joy Johnson wins 80-90 age group

Joy Johnson reached her goal for this year’s New York City Marathon - she won her age group, and she shaved nearly an hour off last year’s New York Marathon time. She ran a 6:05:57 - that’s a 13:58 pace.

At 81 years old, Joy is going strong and training to run more marathons. If you or anyone you know has ever said, “I’m too old to run,” take a lesson from Joy. She is an inspiration to us all!

Congratulations, Joy!

    What an inspiration Joy is to all of us ’seasoned’ athletes. I applaud her for not only running another Marathon and finishing but also training to improve her performance and better her previous years time. Good for you Joy. Thank you for being such an uplifting example for the rest of us to aspire to. You are a great role model.
