On a hot summer day, Julie DiNardo was preparing for a road race like many runners do. But unlike many runners, she placed her three young children into the stroller(婴儿车）she would push throughout the 10-kilometer run.

That day, August 26, 2016, Julie earned a spot in Guinness World Records, setting the record for "Fastest 10km pushing a triple pram(三人婴儿车）(female)."She ran it in 49 minutes in North Kingstown, Rhode Island. Julie, now 33, has been a runner since age five. In her 20s, she ran a race almost every weekend. But she didn't know stroller racing was a thing until she ran across an article three years ago in Runner's World,featuring a woman who did just that.

Julie is half of a rather athletic couple. Her husband, Lenny DiNardo, played baseball for six years and today is an analyst at New England Sports Network. Lenny,39, is still in tip-top shape, but says Julie is the better athlete. Julie ran eight races in2018, six of them with a stroller. She has set other Guinness records, too- fastest half marathon pushing a double stroller, and fastest half marathon pushing a triple stroller.

Julie says her kids- Abby, 6; Lenny, Jr, 4; and Audrey, 2- love being part of the racing, and she loves" knowing that when they grow up, they'll be able to understand they were part of the record." Already, they 're aware of what's happening." At every race that I ran with my kids, all of them cheered at the top of their lungs,' Go mama! Go mama, go! '"she says.

“Organized events began to take hold about eight years ago after factories began building running-friendly strollers," says Jennifer Flanigan, who founded a group called The Stroller Run." I was a runner before," she says. But having kids complicated her running routine." You wanted to go out for a run, but you did not want to leave your children behind at home. There was that guilt. As soon as we got strollers that were able to run long distances, many of us regained our freedom."
