This man is a legend. Chad Kempel decided to not just run in a marathon for 2 hours and 19 minutes. This father of quintuplets didn’t just bring his children with him to the event – he carried them all throughout the event
This feat has earned him a world record for running a half marathon with five children in a stroller. Kempel decided to do this to honor his wife’s pregnancy, which ran for 27 weeks and 3 days by running exactly 27.3 miles. The Idaho resident also carried a sign with him during the marathon, which said: “anything is possible.”
“I repeat that phrase all the time — and it seems to be working. The other day, my daughter was like, ‘I can’t lift this,’ and then she stopped and said, ‘Wait — anything is possible,’” he explained to TODAY Parents.
