The world-famous DJ finally made good on his promise to complete a marathon on Sunday, finishing the L.A. Marathon in three hours and 55 minutes. He placed 2,009th out of more than 15,000 runners.


Rather than partying it up in celebration, Diplo commemorated the occasion with a cigarette reports Running Magazine.
