He needs the award for 'world's greatest dad'... seriously

Such a sad day. I learned of these two so long ago that, as a fellow Bostonian, I feel like I lost someone I knew. Rest In Peace... forever, rest in easy peace.

Can’t imagine how his son feels

R.I.P. Dick Hoyt. You will be remembered for your loyalty and love!

I met them many years ago at a triathlon in Florida. I will always remember Dick’s humbleness and the love he always showed for his son. RIP

Never in my life have I seen a more inspiring, moving story of love than that of Team Hoyt. I wish I was half the man that Dick Hoyt is.

This son and dad team, really inspired and inspires me to go on, pursue my journey to life. God has always been there for them. Like Rick Hoyt, God, didnt leave us running or treking our life alone. So blessed. God bless you more team Hoyt.

Like they say, try watching this without crying. Great man. Great father. Great team.

I saw them at a race my wife was running. The crowd went crazy when they ran past us. One unforgettable moments

When I think about a father’s love, I think about Dick & Rick Hoyt. It saddens me to think that the world lost Dick, but it pains my heart even more to think that Rick Hoyt lost his dad, best friend, and hero. Dick Hoyt helped give his son a second chance at a good life. Rest in easy peace friend. You will never be forgotten.

now they both are reuinited again... rest in peace you two legends... and thank you for making us learn so much about love and life... team hoyt for the win

I had the privilege of seeing Team Hoyt compete in the 2007 Iron Man race in Clearwater Florida . I had volunteered to assist where I was needed, it was such an amazing experience. When Team Hoyt crossed the finish line there were tears streaming down my face. God bless them both 😘

I want to shake the hand of the great father in the whole world!

Those Boston accents are strong baby!! Nothing But Love & Respect for the Hoyts!!

they deserve of that award... so proud!!!!

I love this family! I know Mom, Dad, his siblings all had a part in raising such a beautiful young man. But, Dad, you are incredible. We love you and learn so much from you!!

I love the contrast between the athletes in the audience who compete for wealth and earthly fame and this unpretentious father and son team who compete just to show the world how powerful and inspiring it is to be a selfless father and appreciative son.

Listening to Dad, you can really tell he is from Boston! I love them both so very muchies! They have held me up when I was down. Being the parent of a disabled child, I look up to families like them and they helped pull me along with them!

best dad ever

Sometimes I love people.

Inspirational is an understatement!

I wish I could go to Boston on the day of the marathon just to have a chance do shake those guys hands express my respect and admiration.

Such a great man.. I feel so tiny in front of him...

actually crying after hearing of the news, but by god, if anyone can get through this obstacle, that family can

I absolutely love this father and son, duo. Such an inspiration!

Reading through the comments and I’m saddened to hear about Dick passing. These two Hoyts have inspired me in the years passed to become a better athlete. To dare to challenge what I think I can’t do, etc…these two are THE definition of athlete. Truly legendary and inspiring to all. Rest easy, Dick. Your legacy with your son is awe inspiring and continues to challenge others to never give up, to never accept NO

Remarkable the love for this father to his son, and the spirit of this team, God Bless

this morning 07-17,2016 our pastor at CCF tarlac show us this very inspirational video clip.GOD bless

I love that Rick is as normal as anybody else. It's not about disability but about being a human that breathes. everybody has the same value.

Here in 2021 still crying with amazement and inspiration.

thanks for sharing this video...really love watching all of their vids...Godbless :)

Love and Strength in its Purest Form. RESPECT!!

This story can always touched me!

감동적인 이야기 전해주셔서 감사해요!!

Thanks for sharing this video

Wish more stories like this were aired on t.v. instead of depressing news. God Bless Both Men ♡ Its a Beautiful thing ♡

🙏🏻 Rick 🙏🏻 Team Hoyt

Rest In Peace, team Hoyt.

Wow team hoyd is great i would take my hat off for them greetings from indonesia to america

"They can be a great people if they wish to be."

I might have to go to Boston myself. These 2 are incredible hero's.

A Big Bravo to the Team HOYT. The greatest DAD of ALL times ! ;-)

Team Hoyt you inspire us all! God bless you!

the Iron Father. it's people like this I get a huge amount of pleasure meeting. my job involves meeting many people. I remember one lad in a wheelchair like Rick. I stopped in truck to let him and his carers cross. I got no thanks from the carers but I'd never forget looking at the lad sitting awkwardly in his wheelchair looking back at me and putting his hand up to say thanks.

What a deserved reward!

So inspirational ❤️

RIP Dick Hoyt!!

6:30 "and life is YES, YOU CAN" 7:58

Although Dick has since passed away, the legacy of father and son will live forever. Don't forget the reason Dick and Rick did this: 1) To be together; 2) To show that people with disabilities should be included in all aspects of life.

I wanna love this video, too bad I can only like it :(

un ejemplo de padre muy emocionante

RIP Rick Hoyt

I came to live in Boston in 2016 after being homeless in Indiana I didn't know much about Boston when I arrived but I've been in this city now for over 5 years and I wouldn't trade it for Indiana for all the money in the world! Because now I'm a part of its heritage! 😀🙏😊🎶🎆

When batman met Superman.

RIP

GO TEAM HOYT!!!!! #BostonStrong

to the people getting ridiculously upset over the few downvotes, let me explain something...you can count on 1 accidental downvote for every 10,000 upvotes, no matter what the content ios, they're usually just accidental clicks, mostly from people on phones and tablets that didn't realized they gently swiped over the button. so chill out, and stop being childish, and dampening the beauty of this story over such a trivial little thing.

I have never run a marathon....

What kind of people would say to them that they did not belong?

How does that voice work?

great video except when obama started talking

i have never met this amazing man, but know this in the us army he is used as an example in the MRT schools
