A California pair broke the Guinness World Record, completing the 26.2-mile distance in 2:35:26.
Sean McQuaid and Riley Pathman are part of Team Hoyt, a nonprofit organization that enables people with special needs to take part in endurance races with the help of specialized racing wheelchairs.The pair competed in the Grandma’s Marathon on Saturday in Duluth, Minnesota, when they broke the world record together.
“You could feel that emotion, the buzz. Riley looking at everybody and getting all the cheers. He is the heart of the run,” said McQuaid. “What we found over the years is we’d be running at a marathon, and we’d see people in a wheelchair on the side. We’d stop and talk to them, and they’d say, 'Hey, we didn’t know that was possible…let’s go do it,'” said Jim Pathman.Jim Pathman says inspiring others to go further and to do more than they thought possible is what Team Hoyt is all about.
