Jim is not a self promoter. He is quiet, reserved and will roll his eyes at this but let's celebrate Jim Finlayson, whether he likes it or not.
Canadian marathon champion, beer mile world record holder (former, plus current supermasters), beer two-mile world record holder — yes open. Yes, eight beer, eight laps. Legend.
See various interviews, articles and his beer mile and beer two-mile races here....
Happy 50th to Jim (who will break some national age-group records in his new age-category and probably single-age records as well....this year....)...he had already broke at least the 45-49 age-group record for the half-marathon in Copenhagen....
