Just in case you don't know... there's a UK runner and son called Mick N Phil who are superb competitors in a similar vein to Team Hoyt!

I think the latest is that they've done something like 28 full marathons and over 100 halves.
Also...
One of the barriers in their way is that FLM will not let them compete because of "health and safety" reasons - apparently Mick N Phil are more dangerous than the assortment of caterpillars, wombles, wheelbarrows, etc which start the race each year.
If you think this sounds wrong then please feel free to get involved:

Sorry for the politics but Mick N Phil are worth it (in my opinion)!
