How many years over 50? What is your weight, gender, present fitness level and training status.
I could still run a 1.19 at 50, however at 53 I am now only managing 1.24 at present. (I was 1.15 at 47). After 50 it is more difficult to predict times, the body cannot take the same effort required in training. It is really important to include rest days in one's schedule, it is better to set 1 mile target times and stick to them i.e. 8 mins very mile etc. The most elementary error to make is to not do the training and too start off too quickly.
Best of luck in your challenge, a time of under 2 hours would be considered to be acceptable and suitably challenging and would require 9 minutes per mile.

∙ 10y agoBased on data gathered on 24,000 half marathoners during 2010, the average pace for a male from 60 to 64 years old was approximately 11 minutes 10 seconds and about 12 minutes 30seconds for ages 65 and up. Extrapolating this to the entire race the 60 to 64 year old average race time would be about 2hrs 26minutes. For 65 years old and up, it would take nearly 2hrs 44minutesto finish a half marathon, on average.

∙ 9y agoRunning is a personal thing, and a decent time does depend on you. For me a decent time would be 1:25, a good time would be 1:20 and an unbelievable time would be anything faster.
I suspect that you arn't asking what is a good time for me though.
All I can give you is statistics.
The peak time for finishing a half marathon is 1:42 for men, 1:58 for women (that is when most will cross the line). More men than women run half marathon races and the overall peak for everyone is 1:42
The average time to complete a half marathon is 1:50 for men and 2:05 for women and overall 1:54 for everyone.
Winning times tend to be about 1:08 for men and 1:19 for women - there are faster and slower winning times of course.
If you run faster than these averages, then that is a decent time.
Of course, what is a decent time for you depends on you and your current fitness levels. Someone who has never run for 50 years (so perhaps a 70 year old) a really good time would be 3 hours - and be pretty amazing at that, a 20 year old runner might have a decent time in 1:30 - it is very variable for the runner. SO what to do to find a decent time for you? Well run one and see how you do. A decent time for the next one you run will be faster than the first.

What percent of runners usually finish a marathon?
Considering that only about 500K people have ever run the Boston Marathon in over 115 years, the answer is not very many. If we're looking at just the US population, then that would be less than 0.2% of all Americans will run in the Boston Marathon. If we're looking at worldwide population, then it would be less than 0.0001% of the world will run in the Boston Marathon.
