“I missed my nap for this,” Hawkins hilariously said at the event.

Hawkins started running when she turned 100 and reportedly runs sprints several times a week, according to the Washington Post.
Aside from her new love of running, Hawkins has been an avid bicyclist for many years.
“I’m always outside and the phone always rings, and I come running in is how I knew I could run,” Hawkins told the paper.
Hawkins was born in 1916 and has four children, three grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
