Chad Kempel, a father of seven, crossed the finish line in two hours and 19 minutes. And he did it all while pushing his five 4-year-olds.
And now, it’s official: the father has won a Guinness World Record for his achievement.
But what is more impressive is that Kempel broke the record while pushing his five 4-year-olds during the race — or an additional 240 pounds. A U.K. doctor decided to run 22 miles while wearing a mask to help reassure anyone who has seen misinformation on social media claiming masks drop oxygen levels, that for the most part, it's simply not true.
His wife, Amy, rode a bicycle alongside him and the kids, so she could be on hand to help with the children if needed. His toddlers also enjoyed the ride and occasionally told him to run faster, FOX reported. . But, with a time of 4:49:29, he missed breaking a record by minutes, as Guinness had set the cut-off time for crossing the finish line at 4:45:00.
