Description

Charles Allie started running in high school and never stopped. At 71 he held nine world spring records and was known as the “fastest man in the world over 70.” Then in November of 2021 he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Today Allie is 75 and won the 2023 World Masters Indoor 60m men's championship for the 75-79 age group. He talks with Marc about his comeback from cancer and his desire to compete – win, lose or draw.
