(CNN) A South Carolina man competing in the 2020 Charleston Marathon has beaten the world record for the fastest time to finish a marathon in an exoskeleton suit. But after 10 years, Gorlitsky was able to stand up and walk using a ReWalk Robotic Exoskeleton. Gorlitsky founded the non-profit I GOT LEGS in 2016 after becoming the first paralyzed man to walk the Cooper River Bridge Run in Charleston using a robotic exoskeleton. Along with completing the marathon, Gorlitsky has walked in nearly 50 road races all around the country. "I want to challenge Simon to a one-on-one exoskeleton race one day," Gorlitsky said.
