Pushed my daughter in a stroller and won a half marathon

He won the half marathon despite pushing his daughter in a pram in front of him

Exercising with baby strollers is nothing new. Running or jogging strollers are becoming more and more popular and are the ideal solution for parents who want to do sports even when they have a baby at home. One such is Calum Neff, an avid runner who went one step further. He took part in the half-marathon with his eleven-month-old daughter in a pram and won. And with a time that any serious marathoner would envy.

31-year-old Calum Neff succeeded a remarkable feat. He won the half marathon in Katy (Texas, USA). This in itself is a remarkable achievement, but it must be added that it is an avid runner won even though he is ahead of himself in a 9-kilogram baby carriage pushing his nine-kilogram 11-month-old daughter Holland. At the same time, he also set an exceptional time, which many excellent recreational runners can hide behind. He crossed the finish line with time 1 hour 11 minutes and 27 seconds. With that, he also set Guinness record in the wheelchair running category, and he improved the record mark by more than a minute (the previous best time was 1 hour 13 minutes and 50 seconds).

Absolutely extraordinary was to share this day with my youngest daughter," Calum said, continuing that his achievement proves "that anything really is possible and that being a father and going to work doesn't mean you have to give up your dreams and hobbies”.
