Ida Keeling Death: TOMORROW NIGHT join us for some miles in honor of #HarlemLegend, Ida Keeling. With the news of her recent passing we want to commemorate her life and all the people she has touched! All details and routes can be found at http://FB.com/HarlemRun.

Rest In Heaven! Remember world record runner Ida Keeling, who was still running at 103? The giant of a woman died yesterday at age 105. Her story STILL inspires generations!

InsideEko is yet to confirm Ida Keeling’s cause of death as no health issues or other  causes of death have been learned to be associated with the passing.

This death has caused a lot of friends and family of Keeling so much hurt. It is in that mourning spirit that the concerned persons have taken to social media to share tributes to the deceased and condolences to the affected family.

In 2016, a group of Front Runners were blessed to spend the morning with the amazing Ms. Ida at the Harlem Run Mile. Just two years before in 2014, we watched the Harlem native break the 100 meter world record for 99 year olds at the Gay Games Cleveland, one of many World Records she has held.

She was and continues to be an inspiration who took up running at the young age of 67! We just got news that Ms. Ida passed away yesterday, August 28 at the young age of 106. Please consider joining Harlem Run at 7pm August 30, for their Monday Night Run at Marcus Garvey Park, to help celebrate her legacy!
