We are so thrilled to welcome Rick Hoyt, and his brother, Russ, both of whom are the children of Dick Hoyt.  Dick, who passed away at age 80 in 2021, and his son, Rick, are the dynamic duo known as Team Hoyt that competed together in various athletic endeavors, including 72 marathons and six Ironman triathlons. Rick and his father ran the Boston Marathon 32 times, and we always loved seeing them along the course. Talking with Rick and Russ and hearing Rick's story firsthand brought tears to our eyes.

In addition to competing as a dynamic duo for over four decades, the Hoyts started the Hoyt Foundation, which provides inclusion opportunities for disabled young people.  Its motto, Yes You Can, is behind everything the Hoyts have accomplished, including Rick’s graduation from Boston University, thanks to the unwavering insistence of Dick and Rick's mom, Judy, that Rick attend public school and eventually Boston University where Rick graduated in 1993.  While Rick is no longer running races, Team Hoyt is going strong with teams at the Boston Marathon every year, including this year, when Dick’s grandkids/Russ’s children ran on behalf of Team Hoyt.  Now, for the first time this year, the Hoyt Foundation is hosting the first annual Dick Hoyt Memorial Yes You Can Run Together on Saturday May 27th in Hopkinton at 8:30 am.  It’s a five mile race to commemorate the Hoyt's first race distance together.  There is also a VIRTUAL OPTION for all listeners to participate.

After a whirlwind weekend of events, a live show, meeting and reuniting with our runners, and, oh yeah, running, we sat down and recapped our Boston 2023 experience. Each year is memorable, and this year was no exception. We hope that you enjoy this conversation as much as we did recording it!

We are already counting down the days until next year.

What an honor to co-host a panel of pioneering women with Cherie Louise Turner of Women’s Running Stories. A huge thank you to these fabulous pioneer women for continuing to share their knowledge and stories! All three women on the panel were among the best in the world during their running careers and helped lay the foundation for women’s marathoning. They have also been instrumental in moving the sport forward through activism and coaching. The panelists:

Jacqueline Hansen, winner of the Boston Marathon and first woman to break 2:40; she’s been a major advocate for women’s distance running, especially around getting distance races into the Olympics; she continues to coach.

Marilyn Bevans, the first African American woman to break 3 hours and finish top three at Boston. Featured in the documentary, Breaking Three Hours, Marilyn continues to be an advocate in the sport and has been a major inspiration for women’s running. Marilyn continues to coach as well.

Patti Catalans Dillon, multi-distance world record setter, three time top three finisher at Boston, first American woman to break 2:30; is a major inspiration in the running community, especially the Native community, specifically as head coach with the Wings of America Elite team. Patti shares how she started running to lose weight and eventually quit smoking.

We were also thrilled to see Marilyn Bevans honored on stage immediately after the panel by the Black Unicorn Marathoners; by Team Bevans, including Alisa Harvey, Sika Henry, Ingrid Walters, and Shawanna White, who ran in Marilyn’s honor; and in honor of Mariyn getting inducted into the Springfield College Athletic Hall of Fame the previous day.

A heartfelt thanks to the Boston Marathon and the Boston Athletic Association, especially Katie Hawkes, Suzanne Walmsley, and Adrienne Benton, and to all who attended and supported the show.
