Team Hoyt was the athletic duo consisting of Dick Hoyt (June 1, 1940 – March 17, 2021) and his son Rick Hoyt (January 10, 1962 – May 22, 2023[3] ) from Holland, Massachusetts. The Hoyts competed together in marathons—including over 30 editions of the Boston Marathon—and Ironman Triathlons. Rick had cerebral palsy. During competition, Dick pulled Rick in a boat during swims, carried him in a seat in the front of a bicycle, and pushed him in a wheelchair as they ran. Team Hoyt were inducted to the Ironman Hall of Fame and were recipients of ESPN's Jimmy V Award.
