The 60-year-old from Kilmarnock, Scotland, made history, becoming the first man over 60 to run an indoor 800m race under 2:10. He dominated the race, winning by 13 seconds and setting a new M60+ world record of 2:09.11.<\/p>\n<p>After the race, McHarg took to social media, joking that he was \u201cabsolutely thrilled\u201d to hold onto this record for more than 10 minutes\u2014unlike his ill-fated mile mark, although his rivalry with Ridley isn\u2019t over yet\u2013the the two will face off this weekend at the British Masters Indoor Championships in the men&#8217;s 60+ 1,500m, where they\u2019ll chase another historic mark: Shaheed\u2019s longstanding M60+ record of 4:24.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_133084\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-133084\" style=\"width: 674px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-133084 size-large lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/runningmagazine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/480282760_3056020157884758_1822893567936340686_n-e1740157736869-674x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"674\" height=\"1024\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/runningmagazine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/480282760_3056020157884758_1822893567936340686_n-e1740157736869-674x1024.jpg 674w, https:\/\/runningmagazine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/480282760_3056020157884758_1822893567936340686_n-e1740157736869-198x300.jpg 198w, https:\/\/runningmagazine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/480282760_3056020157884758_1822893567936340686_n-e1740157736869-768x1166.jpg 768w, https:\/\/runningmagazine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/480282760_3056020157884758_1822893567936340686_n-e1740157736869-1012x1536.jpg 1012w, https:\/\/runningmagazine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/480282760_3056020157884758_1822893567936340686_n-e1740157736869.jpg 1080w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 674px) 100vw, 674px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 674px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 674\/1024;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-133084\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Scotland&#8217;s Robert McHarg won the men&#8217;s 60+ 800m by 13 seconds<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>2025 is shaping up to be a massive year for masters runners, with the World Indoor Masters Championships set for the end of March in Gainesville, Fla.
