Illinois boy completes quest to run half-marathon in all 50 states


It’s big goal for a small kid, but an 11-year-old boy has finished a half-marathon in each U.S. state. Aiden Jaquez of Montgomery, Illinois ran his 50th half-marathon on Sunday (October 20th) at an Iowa event. Jaquez’ family said they are working on getting Guinness World Records recognition for the boy’s feat– the current record-holder is listed as 12-years-old.
