Run for Fun | Tampa Bay area veteran competes in handcycle races

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) - In this week's episode of Run for Fun, we take a look at competing and racing in wheelchairs and handcycles. The joy of crossing a finish line should be available to everyone, no matter their ability. Today, Leigh Spann and Coach Maria sit down with Mark Lalli, one of just 40 handcycle participants in the 2024 Boston Marathon. To compete in this category, the athlete must have a physical impairment that aligns with the International Paralympic Committee, and the impairment must impact the person's ability to use a wheelchair or run with a prosthesis.
