雷·詹姆斯（Ray James）自2001年（悉尼奥运会之后的第二年）向公众开放以来，雷·詹姆斯（Ray James）参加了每一次悉尼马拉松比赛。 At 76, he is the oldest member of an exclusive club of runners, known as the Blue Line Legends, who share the distinction.
Despite having run 23 Sydney Marathons (there was no race in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic) and 420 marathons all up across Australia, this will be James’ first world major after Sydney was upgraded to the elite status last year, joining Tokyo, Boston,伦敦，柏林，芝加哥和纽约。
“我不能像癌症那样艰苦地训练，并且患有药物治疗，所以会干扰它，”詹姆斯说。 “I’m not a fast runner, I will be five-and-a-half/six hours. But I’ll get across the line, and I’m a winner, really, once you do that.”
James was there outside Sydney Opera House on Thursday for the official pre-marathon press conference, helping welcome two-time Olympic gold medallist Eliud Kipchoge and three-time gold medallist Sifan Hassan to Sydney, alongside four other Blue Line传奇。 class =“ _ 72JXS _0SAJQ msnnk wnq-j” data-testid =“ image”> 与Eliud Kipchoge一起剩下的六个蓝线传奇中的四个：Ray James，Graham Wye，Robert Fickel和Rick Patzold。随着成员停止参加活动，俱乐部的排名每年都会减少，传奇是剩下的。

“她结束前她会在飞机上，”他说。
