A Team Hoyt San Diego duo has broken the Guinness World Record for the fastest marathon pushing a wheelchair.
Team Hoyt is a non-profit that enables those with special needs to take part in endurance races with the help of specialized racing wheelchairs.“Team Riley” 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.
