Original Peachtree runner still going strong
But don't let his age fool you. Thorn is more than prepared for the world's largest 10K. "I don't just train for the Peachtree Road Race. I'm doing something every day, all the time. I'll be 78 in September. At that age, it would be hard for me to stop and then try to start again. I have a routine that I follow year-round." JOHN SPINK / jspink@ajc.com
