Dick and Rick Hoyt are a father-son team who have run 60 marathons (25 of them the Boston Marathon), 6 Ironman Triathlons (composed of 2.4 mile swim, followed by a 116 mile bike ride and then a 26 mile maraton), and other races for a total of nearly 1000 events.

Rick has cerebral palsy, so his dad pushes him in a wheelchair and pulls him in a raft through the water … Watch this clip for a fascinating look at Team Hoyt.
