Aaron Harrison

At 68 years old, Aaron Harrison decided he wasn’t done chasing goals. After some time away from the gym, he walked back into the Newton YMCA with one clear mission: run a mile without stopping. Around the Newton YMCA track, that’s 10 laps. When he first started, two laps in a row felt like a victory, but Aaron kept showing up. Two laps turned into three. Three turned into four. And now he’s running five laps straight — halfway to his mile goal. His story isn’t just about running. It’s about resilience, commitment, and proving that progress has no age limit.
