Here is a video of the wheelchair athletes approaching and climbing Heights Hill before the quick downhill finish of the 2013 Falmouth Road Race. When I was in high school in the mid 1970s. I recall my great high school coach, Marvin W. Goldberg, traveling to watch the Boston Marathon and coming back to give a memorable chapel talk on the wheelchair athletes climbing Heartbreak Hill with the motions of their "crablike arms" pushing the chairs up the hill. Getting up the final hill yesterday was still a struggle to some of these tired athletes, but they got tons of encouragement from the cheering fans lining the hill.
