The Bloggling Joggler

I'm Michal "The Joggler" Kapral of Port Hope, Ontario, Canada, and I run marathons and other events while "joggling," an actual sport that combines jogging (or running) and juggling. I hold the Guinness World Record of 2:50:12 for the fastest marathon while juggling three objects. (I also chewed gum every step of the way.)

About Me

Michal The Joggler Kapral: Toronto, Ontario, Canada; Hey. I'm Michal "The Joggler" Kapral and yeah, I'm that guy who runs marathons while juggling, or joggling, as it's called. Actually, there are a bunch of us who do this, but I'm the one who holds the Guinness World Record for the fastest joggling marathon. I've appeared on ESPN, Good Morning America, CNN, ABC, CBS, NPR and dozens of other TV and radio programs, and in the documentary "Breaking and Entering," directed by Benjamin Fingerhut. My joggling marathon record stands at 2:50:12, set at the 2007 Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon. I also joggled the whole race while chewing gum, just to prove it to all the people who yelled out to me: "Yeah, but can you chew gum while doing that?!" Yes, I can. In October, 2012, I became the first person to take first place overall in a marathon while juggling, winning the Trapline Marathon in Labrador in 2:59:32. in 2016, I set the unofficial record for fastest joggling marathon without a drop, running and juggling the Chicago Marathon in 2:55:25. In 2015 and 2016, I appeared in national network TV commercial for Fairfield Inn and Suites by Marriott. Contact: joggler1@gmail.com.
