Cam Levins ran, and won in record time, the half-marathon race in the Royal Victoria Marathon weekend in October. A notable result Sunday would add to the 34-year-old Islander’s stellar resume.
Every city seems to have a marathon. But leading the pack are the Big Six marathons in New York, Boston, Chicago, London, Berlin and Tokyo. Make it there and you can make it anywhere.
Levins was asked about strategy for Sunday and his plans for positioning himself in the lead pack at the front of the field of more than 50,000 runners from 131 nations traversing from across the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge into Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx and back to Manhattan to the finish in Central Park.
Levins broke his previous Canadian record of 2:07:09 set last year in placing fourth in the 2022 World Athletics Championships in Eugene, Oregon. That time had beaten his original Canadian record of 2:09:25 set in the 2018 Toronto Marathon, which had bested Jerome Drayton’s hallowed 43-year-old Canadian record of 2:10:09 set in 1975 at Fukuoka, Japan.
