In the spring of 1977, Rick told his father 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.) Consider reading their story next:
The goal of Team Hoyt Coeur d'Alene is to encourage our community with (and without) 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 seemingly impossible is made possible.
With Team Hoyt Coeur d'Alene, there are no strangers. Our runners and rider-athletes share in the friendship and smiles and show up to have fun every race season!
