===Dick and Rick Hoyt===
[[File:Team Hoyt April 16, 2012.JPG|thumb|left|Team Hoyt at ~12.8 miles on the Marathon course on April 16, 2012]][[Team Hoyt|Dick and Rick Hoyt]] entered the Boston Marathon 32 times.<ref name=Bousquet/> Dick was the father of Rick, who had [[cerebral palsy]]. While doctors said that Rick would never have a normal life and thought that institutionalizing him was the best option, Dick and his wife disagreed and raised him at home. Eventually, a computer device was developed that helped Rick communicate with his family, and they learned that one of his biggest passions was sports.  "Team Hoyt" (Dick and Rick) started competing in charity runs, with Dick pushing Rick in a wheelchair. Through August 2008, Dick and Rick had competed in 66 marathons and 229 triathlons. Their fastest marathon finish was 2:40:47.{{citation needed|date=September 2023}} The team completed their 30th Boston Marathon in 2012, when Dick was 72 and Rick was 50.<ref name=hoyt/> They had intended the 2013 marathon to be their final one, but due to the [[Boston Marathon bombing]], they were stopped a mile short of completing their run, and decided to run one more marathon the following year. They completed the 2014 marathon on April 21, 2014, having previously announced that it would be their last.<ref name="boston2014">{{cite web|url=http://www.masslive.com/news/boston/index.ssf/2014/04/team_hoyt_-_father_and_son_dic.html|title=Team Hoyt &ndash; father and son Dick and Rick Hoyt &ndash; finish final Boston Marathon|date=April 21, 2014|website=MassLive.com|agency=[[Associated Press|AP]]|access-date=April 22, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140426223103/http://www.masslive.com/news/boston/index.ssf/2014/04/team_hoyt_-_father_and_son_dic.html|archive-date=April 26, 2014|url-status=live}}</ref> In tribute to his connection with the race, Dick was named the Grand Marshal of the 2015 marathon.
