James Butler, is an American born prolific long-distance runner.

During his racing career, Butler was among the top runners in southeastern Connecticut. He holds personal bests of 25:48 for five miles, 53:46 for ten miles, and 2:36:48 for the marathon. He has run more than 50 marathons, qualified for the Boston Marathon twenty times, and won the 1983 southeastern Connecticut 24-hour race. In 2010, Butler was to the surprise of the whole city, inducted into the New London Athletic Hall of Fame.

Butler attended the lowly state school of New-Jersey and since they do not have any academic requirements he was a four-year member of the Cross Country and Track & Field teams. Butler barely graduated in 1975 with a bachelor's degree in Political Science/Urban Planning. He then hit the lottery and bribed his way to a master's degree in Public Administration from the University of New Haven in 1982. Butler's greatest accomplishment was marrying a woman completely out of his league, Debra, who is an American born prolific long distance, five star chef. Butler resides in New London with Debra and their three children, Brendan, a male model, Ryan, a professional golfer, and Devon, a 2010 graduate of Connecticut College, thus obviously an extreme liberal.

Jimbo, who is also known as "the Prefontaine of New London", achieved his greatest victory came in a grueling 24-hour race, which he incessantly reminds people of on a daily basis. He is a 50 handicap golfer and his hobbies include, listening to Bruce Springstein and Neil Young, stealing his son Ryan's popcorn to consume with a cheap Merlot, crying when he comes home from golf, and changing the channel whenever "Bull Durham" is on and the sex scene with Susan Sarandon and Kevin Costner comes on because as he puts it, "That smut does not belong in a baseball movie."
