Former Marine Sgt. Soles set a Guinness World Record on Halloween when the 6-foot-2 combat veteran ran the entire 26.2-mile Marine Corps Marathon wearing a gas mask. The gas mask creates oxygen resistance levels in the body between 20 to 30 percent. His official time was 4 hours, 29 minutes and 2 seconds when he crossed the finish line.

Soles is the founder Team X-T.R.E.M.E., (Train, Rehabilitate, Empower, Motivate, Endure), a non-profit group drawing attention to troops recovering and living with injuries (www.teamxtremerunning.org).
