In the spring of 1977, Rick told his father that he wanted to participate in a 5-mile benefit run for a Lacrosse player who had been paralyzed in an accident.

Far from being a long-distance runner, Dick agreed to push Rick in his wheelchair and they finished all 5 miles, coming in next to last.

That night, Rick told his father, “Dad, when I’m running, it feels like I’m not handicapped.”

This realization was just the beginning of what would become over 1,000 races completed, including marathons, duathlons and triathlons (6 of them being Ironman competitions).

Also adding to their list of achievements, Dick and Rick biked and ran across the U.S. in 1992, completing a full 3,735 miles in 45 days.

The goal of Team Hoyt Coeur d'Alene is to encourage community members with disabilities to come out and race with us. A runner-athlete is paired with a rider-athlete for every race. This allows for inclusion and the impossible to be possible. 

Team Hoyt Coeur d'Alene participates is an evergrowing team of runners and rider athletes. There are no strangers here, when you're here you're family.
