Michal Kapral, a renowned stunt runner, initially gained fame for setting the Guinness World Record for fastest marathon pushing a stroller, accompanied by his daughter Annika, at the 2004 Toronto Waterfront Marathon. This remarkable feat marked the beginning of his illustrious career in the sport of joggling, which combines the physical demands of running with the skillful art of juggling.
Kapral's dedication to joggling has resulted in him becoming the current world record holder for the fastest joggling marathon, with a time of 2:50:12, as well as the half-marathon and 10K without a single drop, boasting impressive times of 1:20:40 and 36:27, respectively.
Beyond his impressive athletic achievements, Kapral has also made a name for himself in the world of entertainment. He starred as himself in the 2009 documentary Breaking and Entering, which chronicled his intense rivalry with American joggler Zach Warren. Additionally, Kapral appeared in the short documentary The Joggler, produced by CBC TV, which won the prestigious Gold World Award at the New York Festivals.
Kapral's charismatic personality has also led to him being featured in a national network TV campaign as himself, showcasing his unique talent as the "fastest marathon juggler" for Fairfield Inn and Suites by Marriott.
In 2016, Kapral's remarkable achievement of running the entire Chicago Marathon while juggling every step of the way, without dropping a single ball, garnered widespread media attention, solidifying his status as a true joggling sensation. His impressive time of 2 hours 55 minutes and 25 seconds without a single drop further cemented his reputation as a master of the sport.
