Ultra-runner and magician Oz Pearlman just set a record for the number of laps run around the iconic 6.1-mile road in Central Park.
Pearlman ran 19 loops, a staggering 116 miles, 18 miles more than the previous park record set just last year, running nonstop from 6 a.m. on Friday to 1 a.m. on Saturday. The record-setting effort was in support of the Save the Children Ukraine Relief Fund, ending up raising roughly $100,000.
“As a parent of three young children, my heart breaks seeing the horrific violence in Ukraine and its impact on so many kids and families,” Pearlman wrote in an Instagram post on March 30. “It is hard to imagine what they are going through during this unjust war.”
