It's unclear whether Mike Huckabee will still be a presidential candidate when he steps to the starting line, but the former Arkansas governor did officially enter today to run in the Boston Marathon.
He will join Team Hoyt, a local charity that pushes for integrating the physically challenged into everyday life. Dick Hoyt and son Rick Hoyt have completed 25 Boston Marathons, with Dick running and Rick in his wheelchair, the Boston Athletic Association said today.
Huckabee has been training on the campaign trail and famously lost more than 100 pounds when he started running after being diagnosed with adult-onset diabetes. He has run four marathons, but Boston's on April would likely be his toughest.







This man is very capable of running the nation. No other current political candidate is capable of running a marathon or the nation for that matter.
Go Mike Huckabee Go.
I run marathons. So I guess I'm qualified to run the country. Huh. Never considered that. Thanks for the tip!
