At 86, Florence Anderson is an inspiring mother of six children, grandmother of 24, and great grandmother of 38! She runs every morning, a practice that began in 1973 when she started jogging laps around a high school track to reclaim her fitness. With determination and a neighbor’s encouragement, her first marathon was completed barely under the five-hour cutoff, but over time, Florence built her way up to running the Boston Marathon in 3:17 at age 42 after qualifying with a 3:29 in Salt Lake City. Over the years, Florence completed 14 marathons, carried the Olympic torch in 2002, and earned multiple medals in 5Ks and 10Ks, even sprinting in her 80s. Running helps her manage stress, and she credits it with preserving her mental health and patience. She runs for her father, who was disabled, and for herself because she can. Florence is thrilled to run in the Huntsman World Senior Games for the 19th time this year and be only 1 year away from earning the coveted 20-year watch!
