On October 16, 2011, Singh became the first 100-year-old to finish a marathon, completing the Toronto Waterfront Marathon. However, Guinness World Records refused to include Singh in its record book because he could not produce his birth certificate to prove his age. Birth records were not kept in India in 1911.
