Comedian Kevin Hart is a junkie when it comes to running, which is why he organizes a public five-kilometer run at every city he performs during his "What Now?" tour.

There are no prizes to be won or podium finishes to be had. All Hart wants is for others to join in on something he's passionate about, be active, and push themselves to be better.

During a recent stop in his hometown of Philadelphia, Hart had nearly 4,500 people show up outside the Philadelphia Museum of Art to participate, including 76ers rookie Jahlil Okafor.

The run is a good way for Okafor - who was selected third overall by the Sixers in this year's draft - to intertwine himself into the fabric of the city by taking part in large social gatherings such as this.
