Ginette Bedard (born December 12, 1933) is a French-American long-distance runner from Queens, New York. She is known for her participation in marathons since 2001, at the age of sixty-seven.[4][5] In 2005, she set the U.S. marathon record for women aged 70–74.[6][7] In 2008, at age seventy-four, she set the masters W75 marathon world record with a time of 4:08:31.[8] As of 2020[update], she has participated in seventeen New York City Marathons, where she at times has been the oldest woman to participate.[9]
She attributes her fitness despite her age to the practice of running ten miles a day along Howard Beach where she resides.[10]
