"I'll win my age group," laughs Julius Holzner. At 92, the Styrian is by far the oldest runner in the field at the marathon in Graz on Sunday. In the run-up to the biggest running event in the south of Austria, the senior told the "Krone" what he is planning to do.

If your back hurts from sitting down or your right knee tweaks again, then this man is all the more impressive: Julius Holzner is a passionate marathon runner and has already completed 402 running events in his life. And he is far from having had enough. And at the age of 92!
