..do you think Mick would win it?

Mick is fit, for sure, but he is by no means superfit. He does not run for hours every day, like some do, even if they are in their 70's and 80's.
I have been competing in uphill races, and regular 10k and 21k. There are some amazingly strong men and women in their 70's and 80's who are simply superstrong. They are skinny like Mick, they have been running and training all their life, and they are amazingly strong.

He may not run for hours everyday but he clearly works out using varying methods most days. I've read he has said "hours of torture everyday". He added that he doesn't do anything "crazy", but does work out at least 5 days per week. Bravo. He is my hero.
