A FINISH LINE IS NEVER JUST A LINE.
THOMAS CLOYD / CHICAGOThomas races marathons in his quad rugby chair. The clock tells part of the story. What it takes to keep going tells the rest.
His first 26.2.
13.1 miles through Las Vegas. Another finish on the board.
One long stop, about twelve minutes. Nearly six hours out on the course. He still found his way to the finish.
27.1 miles. Nearly non-stop. Forty-two minutes faster than 2022. Seven years of work taking shape.
But there’s another city.
And a race that isn’t finished.
