Two Marathon Stories
A guy in Idaho broke the Guinness world record after running a half marathon while wearing 111 t-shirts. He’s broken more than 200 records, to bring attention to STEM education.
An Ontario man crossed the finish line of the Buffalo Marathon in first place last weekend while pushing his sleeping two-year-old son in a stroller. The 35-year-old Hamilton resident finished the race in two hours, 33 minutes and 32 seconds, ranking him in first place. Throughout the race, the father and son duo chatted about the ambulances, police cars and construction vehicles they were passing, just like they usually do on any given day. McAneney said his son typically accompanies him on 90 percent of his runs. The pair was just two minutes short of breaking the Guinness World Record for the fastest marathon run with a stroller, which currently sits at two hours, 31 minutes and 21 seconds and is held by another Canadian, Calum Neff. With Sutton turning three in July and his feet now dangling out of his stroller, his father says it might be time for the two to race side-by-side next time. “I’ve had a pretty fortunate running career, but this was the highlight of my running career, the one I’m most proud of for sure.”
