Elderly marathon participants go viral for the cutest reason
Most 30-somethings struggle to complete a marathon, so you have to hand it to two octogenarians who proved age is no barrier to achieving their fitness goals. 84-year-old Betty and 88-year-old Robert Kinder have become internet sensations after a photo of them crossing the finish line while holding hands at the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon was posted on Facebook.
“Betty and Bob Kinder make our track look like a runway!” the marathon’s page captioned the cute snap, which has been liked over 3,000 times and shared 1,600 times.
Bob’s hilarious hat is his own design, according to Runners World. He had been wearing a hat with the slogan, “Grumpy Old Fart,” when a flight attendant cheekily suggested he change it to “Sexy Old Fart,” and he couldn’t resist making the change.
The adorable couple, who have been married for 60 years, say their secret to a long, happy relationship is “never going to bed angry” and always saying “I love you”.
