Mark Macy: Age
Mark is 58 years old.
Unlike other people at that age, Mark is still going strong after so many years which has been an inspiration for many viewers. In an interview with Endurance Sports & Fitness, he said:
I was 42 years old when those first races came about. Marshall and a few others of us in my age group (almost 60) are still going at it, but some have moved on. Other than that, some moved on to the Primal Quest races, but there are not any in the U.S.
That’s what we call a true spirit.
Is Mark on Instagram?
Yes, Mark is on Instagram!
He has just 7 posts but he’s already growing up a stable fan base with 1,200 followers at the time of writing.
Mark might be new to the world of Instagram, but he clearly knows how to share a throwback post.
