Chris Hobson: Filling the Retirement Black Hole — From Couch to Guinness World Record
Meet Chris Hobson, a 72-year-old marathon runner who proves it’s never too late to start. Chris began running marathons in 2014 at age 60. Over the next ten years, she completed more than 100 races, many of them overseas.
Today, Chris has run 125 marathons, including the Antarctic Ice Marathon in central Antarctica. There, she earned a Guinness World Record as the oldest woman to complete the race.
An inspiring story of resilience, adventure, and redefining retirement.
