Someone Is Doing A 100km Charity Run As A Stormtrooper At Star Wars Celebration
thegamer.comSomeone going by the Running Stormtrooper just suited up for one more mission earlier this week at the highly anticipated Star Wars Celebration which is currently taking place in London, UK. They’ve already been breaking records by raising funds for the Make-A-Wish and Spread-A-Smile charities ever since 2016, but this time around, the Running Stormtrooper will be stepping onto a treadmill, running a staggering 100 kilometers in full armor during the four day event.
The Running Stormtrooper began their journey almost a full decade ago, completing five London Marathons and two Ultra Marathons, running no less than 1,000 miles while in full uniform back in 2020. The runner was even awarded a Guiness World Record for their efforts.
