Sean McQuaid, 33, pushing Riley Pathman, 24, in a wheelchair, covered 26.2 miles in 2 hours, 35 minutes and 26 seconds
A San Diego duo broke the Guinness world record for running the fastest marathon pushing a wheelchair last weekend.
They have been running together since Riley was 4 when they became involved with the local Challenged Athletes Foundation. The runners struck up a conversation and a friendship, met at other races and began running together. Later that night, Rick typed, “Dad, when I’m running, it feels like I’m not handicapped.” That was the genesis of Team Hoyt, according to the group’s website. It since has expanded to include a San Diego chapter.said several members traveled to Minnesota to cheer the two participants on. On Monday evening, they hoisted mugs of Guinness in celebration at San Diego’s Shakespeare Pub. “We are extremely proud of Riley and Sean,” she says.
James Pathman and son, Riley, wear their Grandma’s Marathon T-shirts and medals at the airport on their way home from Duluth.
