Nanette Rodgers, at 84, was the only woman over age 80 among the 14,000 runners in the 2020 Walt Disney World Marathon. Upon completing the marathon in 7 hours, 6 minutes, 41 seconds, she deservedly received an award.

Ever since she discovered running at age 65, Nanette has been training for and running marathons.
