## Resource

At 90, Yul Kwon stunned the BMO Half-Marathon by winning his age division — and also finishing last, since he was the only runner in his category. A retired economics professor and self-made immigrant from Korea, Kwon began running at 60 and now inspires thousands with his joyful, grit-filled journey. Born into poverty, orphaned in childhood, and surviving war and hardship, he clawed his way to a PhD, a global academic career, and now, a global running legend. He’s raised $20,000 for cancer research, pushed marathon organizers to create a 100+ division, and keeps running — not for medals, but for the pure, transformative joy of movement.
