Watch: Canadian father sets unofficial stroller world record with daughter
Watch as Calum Neff runs the Katy Half-Marathon in Texas with his daughter on Sunday setting an stroller world record in the process.
Calum Neff and his daughter may be considered one of the fastest father, daughter duos in Canada after Neff completed the Katy Half-Marathon in Texas setting an unofficial stroller world record by more than two minutes.
Travis Boyd holds the previous Guinness World Record while pushing a stroller having set the record (1:13:50) in Everett, Wash. in 2013 at the Heroes Half-Marathon.
Neff’s official time while pushing the stroller on Sunday was 1:11:27, good enough to win the overall race. He also won the half-marathon last year.

Neff, 31 and a father of two, attended high school in Calgary and now lives in the Houston area. He has represented Canada at the World Mountain Running Championships. According to his Strava account, his best for the half-marathon is 1:08:20, a near-elite time for Canadians.
Sunday’s race marks Neff’s second great performance of 2016. He was the top Canadian at the Houston Marathon in mid-January before testing his fitness in Katy, Texas.
