The Florida-based athlete has the fastest-known marathon time for a double-leg amputee, and he’s looking forward to competing in a new para athletics division
Marko Cheseto will line up for Monday’s Boston Marathon with justified confidence: he has the fastest known time for a double-leg amputee: 2 hours 37 minutes and 23 seconds. In other words, Cheseto is capable of running six-minute miles for just over 26 miles.
The journey he took to get to this stage took him across two continents and through immense physical and emotional pain.
