I watched this as a young man and didn’t understand the gravity of the bond between father and son. Now, 15 yrs on, married, with a son, I finally understand. Thank you.
My thoughts exactly.
Rest in Peace Dick Hoyt. You have inspired people beyond measure and raised the bar for humanity.
I didn't know he passed away. Rest in peace, Ironman.
Thank you 🙏
The type of legacy worth leaving ❤
if I am half of the father to my kids as this guy, I have succeeded .
Wow. Best part of that story for me was at 4:40. Dad never looks up to see the crowds reaction once. He watches his son the whole time. He's the real deal.
and I thought I was the only soul who noticed that. lol. God bless you .
Dad of the Century!!!!!
In the moment 🙏💕
Rest in peace, Dick. It was an honor to meet you both in Kona.
We will take it from here. I know you are not really gone, you're just a lap ahead.
I never bothered to comment on a youtube video, but no words can describe how beautiful, inspirational and loving this is. Dick, your not a role model for just your son, your a role model for humanity.
RIP Dick Hoyt. You are a legend.
This video is the reason why I started triathlon one and a half years ago. In a few weeks I am doing my first 70.3 and their story still brings tears to my eyes. Whenever I dont feel motivated or am tired, I watch this, go out running and be just thankful for the beauty that some people put into this world. Thank you Dick and Rick Hoyt for doing what you do.
I could have written the same thing....
I am a Hoyt and very proud to share the name with such wonderful human beings as you all. Thank you Dick and Rick. You are amazing!
who in their right mind dislikes this? 127 very sad people....this is an inspiration to a guy like me in a wheelchair disabled by multiple sclerosis. i am grateful for people like his dad who can see the person inside of a broken body and take the time to enhance their lives. more power to them both....RESPECT.
That was what I was thinking... There will always be those who hate because others love and in this instance, it's obvious there are those that lack empathy and compassion. It's not their fault, its how their made... But I guarantee, it matters not to the Hoyts or those of us who find inspiration in this amazing story.
That 127 is pale in comparison to the millions of people this guy has inspired.
I haven't seen a single dislike on this. Not sure where you got 127 people from. If so some people need to get their head out of their asses or check to see if their heart has a pulse
RIP duo of the century.
Rick is probably pushing his dad up there in heaven😢
SUCH AN AMAZING FATHER!!!! GOD BLESS HIM!!!!
I am truly hurt by your passing. You were one hell of a man, and you will not be forgotten!
Today this earth lost one of the most inspiring souls ever. May he rest in peace.
RIP Rick. You and your father were both inspirational to the world. I hope you and your dad can enjoy running together up in Heaven. RIP you two
RIP Dick, you have inspired millions to be become better people. Thank you for being an example for others to follow.
And most of us complain about how hard things in life are. WOW
a light came on for me, I know I am blessed. Do you know you are blessed too ?

Love. ❤🙏🌍🖖
Look at Rick's smile. That says it all. He's so happy when he's out there competing with his Dad. A truly beautiful story. God Bless them.
Rest In Peace, you are the hero we all needed.
I can't watch this without tearing up. Whenever I feel like giving up I watch this. So inspirational. God bless you
The world needs more Men like Dick Hoyt, If I'm 1/3 the father Dick was I can die in peace..
Exactly, me too.
it makes my heart ache that his dad would pull him through the whole race just to see him smile. Together they form the athelete. spirit and body. i am crying all over my computer as i type this. god bless them.
without question this is the most touching story I have seen, I am in floods of tears, not because I feel sorry for them but because i cry tears of love, joy and affection. You are truly blessed to have each other x
Still inspiring folks in 2021. Amazing. “The Devoted” book Dick wrote wrote is great too!
Ooh I’ll have to read it
The power of love between a father and son, it’s such and indescribable feeling. Brings tears in my eyes watching this, absolutely beautiful
Fathers are important to us daughters too. We need that man to depend on in a world full of men we can't depend on We love our daddies!! I lost mine two and a half years ago, and miss that man every day.
This is amazing, I am truly happy there are men like Dick and Rick out there, and am saddened to hear of his passing. He has inspired so many, and he will never be forgotten.
This is seriously once of the best messages that I've ever heard. Why are there not more people like this. Thank you for making the world a little better. Those 100 people that put a thumbs down have no heart..
This man and his son, are two of the most amazing and absolutely inspirational human beings on this earth. I've never seen anything so moving in my life. They deserve moe recognition than any football player, or basketball player. They're incredible people. That is dedication to family, to life. You are both truly amazing. If we had more people like you in the world, it'd be such a more amazing place. I love you guys, keep going
The best part about this is that the kid is awake and aware of what is going on, so he's enjoying all this shit too. I love that.
i used to boast about not crying to any inspirational stories and sad stories. the second i saw them running, and the crowd giving going crazy giving them a standing ovation, i broke out in tears. wow. rick and dick hoyt, you are true role models
Absolute legends in the athletic world. Absolute legends in the human world.
I made the whole school watch this in assembly one morning. One of the most inspirational videos on youtube. Incredible.
Such an inspiration. Rest In Peace, Dick
A special place in heaven awaits this dad
Dear Rick and Dick, heroes like you are what the world needs today. Thank you so much.
Rest in peace Rick. In heaven today there is a party as Team Hoyt reunites. Thanks for changing the meaning of "anything is possible"
2022… and this story is still touching the hearts of others. ♥️
Rest in Peace Rick and Dick Hoyt ❤
Rest in peace you beautiful person. Your story have moved me many times... You`re an inspiration to all humans.
easily one of the best videos i've ever seen. thank you, thank you Team Hoyt.
This made me cry :') my headteacher told me about this. It's so true that we don't know what we are capable of. We have no limits unless someone stops us from doing something. Give whatever you want to do in life a try and have a go because no one is stopping you :)
RIP Dick Hoyt. An inspiration to us all.
so sorry to hear about Dick's passing, such a dedicated father and tremendous athlete.
I'm not ashamed to say that I cried a hell of a lot during this video, seriously seriously inspiring!!! ='D
Absolutely incredible, humanity has owes so much to these men to do better and push ourselves to better things. I have just started on my road and I thought I had belief in myself but this shows just what we can do when we use the heart we’re given. Moved doesn’t come close to the close to the emotions this evokes. Just wow if I can do 1% I can will be proud. Truly amazing and inspiring
RIP Dick. This is what sports is all about. pushing each other toward our personal victories ❤️
Any male can father a child, or give birth to a child, but it takes an amazing person to be a true Mom or Dad. This man is a true Dad.
My full Respect for Father and Son!
Absolute legend. the most inspirational vid i'v ever seen.
Nothing ever touched my soul like Team Hoyt
I am a man and I can't swim a lap on my pool, run a block or bike a mile - let alone doing all that while carrying a person with me.
I am a father and "I don't think" I can do half of the things Dick has done for his son.
Dick, you are a true inspiration for mankind and a leading model of fatherhood.
I will try to be like you - and I don't know if I will accomplish nearly 1/10th of what you have accomplished - but i will set you as a role model.
Thanks man!
God Bless you Hoyt family! Your love, your determination and your commitment truly inspire me!
Both men deserve a reward for their humanity.
This man has raised the bar for me as a father, even from beyond the grave. My god. This has wrecked me. RIP DICK HOYT.
This guy is a saint. We would all be lucky to have a father like him.
Descansa en paz, tu vida fue y será un ejemplo infinito de voluntad y del amor que se tiene por un hijo.
You two make me know that when I don't want to get up in the morning or go to work or just about everything that has to happen but I don't want to do that all I have to do is think about you two and everything seems good.
Both of you are heroes and the only thing that I wish was that I actually knew you personally.
That is all I have to say.
Your mind and will can move any mountain. This guy takes it a step further. A TRUE HERO and Inspiration !!!
The 2 happinest men in the world: Dick and Rick Hoyt. Love you guys so much, father and son!
So many onions on my computer
Lol
Me too 2020
Who would ever dislike this video????
Sowas nennt man WILLENSKRAFT ... der Wahnsinn und schaut zum Schluss in die Augen des Buben .... Gänsehaut pur!!!
I don't know how I missed it....Richard "Dick" Hoyt. What an incredible father and human being. RIP Dick....run with the Angel's now.
Can't stop crying my eyes out
can we elect this guy as president of the world? can we vote?
Andrea Roll No. We cannot have a good President I think it's like a rule or something
Just remember there’s hundreds of thousands of other stories just like this and then somewhere different even though they are the same you don’t have to be in a wheelchair they have a great man in or out of the wheelchair there’s hundreds of thousands of people I believe that are great people for their family.
Dick Hoyt is a hero and an incredible father for me not question. RIP from Hungary
TWO BEAUTIFUL MEN. This is an example of what real men look like. Love.
My Grandfather Pete Wisnewski Trained with him and are best friends.
Well the next time my kids tell me that I'm the best dad ever I'm going to tell them about Dick Hoyt.
This is what taking responsibility looks like. This deserves all the respect in the world. We need to get up and get shit done. If everyone had only half the motivation this man has, the world would be a paradise.
I am crying like a little baby...
This is amazing story about love.
God bless You and Your Son!

This dad is the man's man. Much respect sir. I would be glad to be half the man that you are.
I am a Iraqi Vet with some injuries but I dont let them beat me. This video juices me up so much to better myself and dont let my injuries hold me down.
Hats off to Team Hoyt.
That is the true definition of father and son!!! Mr. Hoyt, you are an AMAZING man!! Rick, your strength and life is very inspirational!!! The world should use you both as examples of how to live!!!
This story is very touching, makes me realise how much we take things for granted😢 much love from 🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼
Dick Hoyt You Are Truly A Hero!!! I Guess Super Heroes Do Live On Earth!!!!
Im a sales director for a medical device company. This clip motivated me so much that I went out and did an Ironman. Also, I share this clip with all the sales rep I came across. I show them what is possible when you have heart, commitment, passion and desire. We all have challenges, but what we do with these challenges molds our character and internal strength. Now the ball is in our court. Make it happen! You only live once. These two men motivated me beyond words.....thank you Team Hoyt!
This a Father & Son that are all in! Make it a good day!
The endless love of a father. All my respect to Mr.Hoyt!
2 Heroes for the Planet. We are all blessed to have Dick and Rick in this world.
My message is for Rick and his father, im a new dad, my boy is 11 days old. I saw your videos yesterday and i couldnt stop crying. If i can only love my boy 1/4 that you do, I will be a very good father. Your story should be an inspiration to all the new dad's in the world, you both are a true example of wheelpower. I'm so proud of you guys, U ROCK BOTH OF U.
And like we say in french : Quand ont veut ont peu !!!!
That mean YES WE CAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Respect Max and Zack team.
Thank you Dick Hoyt for your inspiration Sending prayers to Rick and your family rest in Paradise
Remarkable courage and stamina. If most fathers had the same love for their children the world would be a better place. Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
What an amazing story of dedication and love . This is what the world and happiness should really be about
I showed this video to students at my school and they were really inspired....Thank you Dick and Rick Hoyt for all you do!!!!
For me he is one of the last real hero`s. What a wonderful father. Respect
aww i cried...
i love these men ...
God bless these men ...
The most skilled poet with a thousand pages on which to write would not be able to describe the love and compassion that this man has for life....
This is one of the most inspirational stories I have ever seen in my life.
RIP to both of these legends
Giant lump in my throat and happy tears. I used to watch these two run in the Boston marathon.
I can't even put into words how I feel watching this video. All I know is, that if my daughter had special needs, I would strive to emulate Dick Hoyt. That man is a hero.
Hello. I'm an adult man. But when I was watching this video I had tears in my eyes. Rick is the real Hero. I hope that once I'll be like Rick.
