PORT ST. LUCIE — For years, the Hensley family has been well known on the Treasure Coast as a running powerhouse.

Now, the family is looking to have the name Hensley etched into Guinness World Records.

On Jan. 13, all seven Hensleys — parents Bob and Mary and children Bobby, Mike, Matt, Jeff and Kelly — will run the Walt Disney World Marathon. If they complete it, they will become the largest family of multiple generations to complete the same marathon on the same day.

Since Bob and Mary settled in Port St. Lucie in 1997, the Hensleys have been winning local races and representing the Treasure Coast across the country.
