This 11-year-old has run a half marathon in all 50 states. His family says he's the youngest ever to achieve that feat
What did you do this weekend? For one 11-year-old boy, the answer to that question is that he achieved his ambition to run a half marathon in all 50 states. He may also have set a world record.
His first half marathon was in Sarasota, Florida, when he was 6. Then he began running all over the country, joining half marathons with Taylor. Last weekend he crossed the finish line at the IMT Des Moines Half Marathon and crossed Iowa off his list -- it was the last state he needed.Courtesy Kathleen Taylor
But being in the Guinness Book of World Records was all the motivation he needed. The journey has always been Aiden's choice, said Taylor.
