     Race date 2018-10-07 per Canadian Running (2018-08-15), which also says he hoped to beat his NYC time. The Blast says he cramped badly at mile 22. Only one outlet gives the time; no official results page opened.

     AP report via CBS Los Angeles. ACTIVE.com lists 4:05:38 (low confidence, possibly a mix-up); Canadian Running (2018) repeats 4:05:06. A different runner named Kevin Hart finished in 5:05:38 the same day. Earlier this file kept the ACTIVE.com time as a second record; merged here (one feat, one record).

     “Hart, who presumably weighs no more than 150 pounds, took on the challenge of bench pressing 225 pounds.”

     Elite Daily describes the video: 'not one, not two, not three (OK, just three) reps'. Same video as BarBend's 'Kevin Hart: 3 Reps of a 225-Pound Bench Press at 150 Pounds Bodyweight' (same 'little guys' line); this record was dated 2017 from BarBend, now re-dated to Dec 2015 from the contemporaneous report. Bodyweight about 150 lb is a guess in both sources, so it is not set.

     “Hart finished in an impressive 21:54”

     NRC Run with Kevin Hart (A Sweat Life, 2015-08)News report2015-07-31medium confidence

     Written by a runner who attended. Out-and-back course of 1.6 miles each way from the Field Museum; untimed fan run, so effort is unclear. Event date 2015-07-31 from Hart's tweet quoted on the page. NBC10 Philadelphia says he ran the Philadelphia edition (2015-08-29) 'in a little under 22 minutes' (no exact time, so no record).
