GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN - MAY 09: Jeff Agar holds the microphone for his son, Johnny Agar, as he gives a motivational speech to employees at Weiss Technik North America, Inc., on May 09, 2024 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Johnny Agar co-authored the memoir "The Impossible Mile: The Power in Living Life One Step at a Time." Having overcame doctor's predictions, he walked the last mile during a 5K - a feat that that took him 1 hour and 45 minutes to walk his first ever mile. His book promotes that anything is possible. Johnny's speech was given to help encourage well-being, and invite the employees to participate in 'Johnny's 5K' in which he is the race director. For 15 years, Jeff and his son Johnny Agar have been pushing the limits of endurance sports including Ironman triathlons. Their athletic accomplishments have been especially noteworthy considering that Johnny lives with cerebral palsy, a muscle disorder which necessitates assistance with his daily activities. When racing, Johnny receives full support by his sixty-one-year-old father to pull, haul and push him on course. In 2022, after five unsuccessful attempts, Team Agar completed a full Ironman - 140.6 miles of swimming, cycling, and running - within a 17-hour time limit. Nearly a decade after a failed attempt at the 2016 Ironman World Championship Triathlon in Kona, Team Agar was invited back to Hawaii to compete in this year's VinFast IRONMAN World Championship. Although the father-son-duo came up short of their dream of completing one of the most challenging triathlons in the world, they say their journey has never been solely about reaching the finish line. Their experiences have emphasized their commitment to overcoming challenges together as a family and connecting with those navigating disabilities and the struggles of everyday life.
