Meet an “Amazing” Who Keeps Spirit & Body Alert With Marathons

Jonathan Menes, at 96, ran his 16th New York City Marathon – one of the oldest, if not THE unofficial oldest marathoner known to date. He completed his run in 11 hours and 23 minutes. But that’s hardly surprising, when you know some of Johnathan’s background. As a Marine, he flew over 100 missions during World War II as a “dive-bomber" and another 70+ jet fighter attack missions in the Korean War.

Jonathan had the distinction of training astronaut John Glenn. His preferred form of exercise? A two-mile walk every morning bright and early around Central Park’s reservoir.
