PORTLAND – Actor and comedian Kevin Hart says he’s up for a sequel after running in an Oregon relay.

The Oregonian/OregonLive reported that Hart competed in the 198-mile relay Saturday, completing three legs of the race.

The event known as Hood to Coast is a 35-leg relay that starts near the top of Mount Hood and ends at the Oregon Coast in Seaside.

In a video posted on his Facebook page, Hart said he didn’t realize how hard the race would be. He described the relay as his own Olympics.

Hart praised race organizers and the state, and said he “can’t wait” to run again next year.
