Hong Kong - The world's oldest marathon runner says he has run his final race.

Fauja Singh, 101, ran the Hong Kong 10-K Sunday.

He is a great-grandfather who took up marathon running ten years ago.

Singh's efforts have inspired people around the world.

He's known as the "Turbaned Tornado." A biography about him bears the same name.

Singh said he's going to keep running for pleasure -- because it makes him happy -- but he added, "True happiness comes from within."
