It’s not very often that a world record is broken in Des Moines, especially when the one isn’t even in high school. That’s exactly what Aiden Jaquez got at the IMT Des Moines Marathon on Sunday, and it’s five years in the making.

Aiden Jaquez is an 11-year-old boy. He is the youngest person to run a half marathon in every state. He is smaller than most of the other runners at the marathon. He is weak in size, but he is rich in experience. He was in the 49 half-marathons before.

As of Sunday morning, he’s been in 50 half-marathons—one in each state. His first marathon was five years ago. He rode in a stroller while his grandma Kathleen Taylor pushed him along. From then on, he always keeps running.
