Thompson, a two-time cancer survivor, broke the world record in 2015 as the oldest woman to complete a full marathon.

"I never thought I would still be here!" Thompson said before the match, saying she ran to raise money for the Leukemia Lymphoma Society.

She said she had raised 100,000 US dollars for the organization, including 15,000 US dollars in 2017.

She said her secret to a healthy life at her age was exercise on a regular basis and a balanced diet. Though she admitted it was hard for her to resist sugar.

"I might have to reward myself after the race with an ice cream cone," she grins.
