*After some inspirational words of advice, Kevin Hart finished strong at the 2018 Bank of America Chicago Marathon on Sunday (Oct. 7).
The comedian announced in August that he would be running the iconic marathon, with hopes of beating his time from last year’s New York City Marathon.
Hart posted a video on Instagram early Thursday of himself on Chicago’s Lakefront Trail, sharing his reason for participating in the race.
“I told you guys I put a purpose behind the run. In other words, there’s a meaning, there’s a definition, there’s a reason,” he said. “The reason behind this run is simply first and foremost personal greatness, personal achievement but also what I can bring awareness to, what I can raise money for,” he continued before shouting, “Education!”

Kevin also shared a video after crossing the finish line Sunday, and even though he was disappointed in his time, he was happy he participated.
As reported by The Blast, Hart, who finished 18,057 with a time of 4:13:10, says he broke down hard at mile 22 with cramps that felt like “Someone shot me in my ass, calf, and hamstring.”
He said sh*t got real when he “Saw two older women sh*t on themselves,” including one woman who popped a squat in front of everyone and just “Moved her shorts to the side.”
Watch him explain it via the clip above.
Meanwhile, reviews have been largely negative for his latest movie “Night School” but for Kevin, it’s the fan’s opinions that matter most, as he recently explained:
“It’s been so positive from the fans. The main reason I never really feed into any reviews or articles before the movie comes out is because movies are made for the people. The beautiful thing about getting that ‘A-‘ CinemaScore is it shows that there is a demand for comedy. It adds to my reason for never listening to the critics or feeding into the reviews. The people are going to dictate the success that your movie has.”
It should be noted that the Rotten Tomatoes’ Audience Score for “Night School” was less positive than the CinemaScore, and currently sits at 49%, The Blast report states.
