Comedian Kevin Hart Leads Local Residents on 5K Run Through Boston

Hundreds turned out for the impromptu run Saturday morning.

Comedian Kevin Hart, who is in town for an upcoming movie shoot, took part in a 5K run through the streets of South Boston Saturday morning.

Hundreds turned out for the impromptu run as Hart led the way.

Why the five-mile run? Earlier this month, Hart held a similar spontaneous jog in the Chestnut Hill area. Hart enjoyed the city of Boston so much he decided to schedule another one. He had been using Twitter as a tool to attract local residents.
