The current Lord Mayor of Sheffield, 'Magic' Magid Magid, is quite a character and all the better for it.
Whether he is calling Donald Trump a 'wasteman' or mocking Theresa May and Brexit, the Green Party councillor has become something of a cult hero on Twitter.
Today, Magid was one of the thousands of runners taking part in the gruelling London marathon, which is a major task for even the most elite of athletes.
Yet, for Magid it seemed to be a stroll in the park as a few hours into the run he shared a video on Twitter of himself eating an ice cream whilst running across Tower Bridge. It even had a flake in it.
I'm doing fine... 👊🏾💚 #LondonMarathon https://t.co/u1AJT0QjEv— 🚀MΛG!D (@🚀MΛG!D) 1556452653
Effotless. We just hope that he doesn't make a mess all over himself or worse...drop it.
The clip has already been viewed more than 26,000 times and needless to say people are loving it.

Of course, Magid was running the marathon for a very good cause. All of the donations he is raising are going to three charities: The Unity Gym Project, Sheffield Women's Counselling and Therapy Service and Sheffield Flourish.
You can donate to the causes here.
Soooo....... This is happening! Just want to say a massive thanks to everyone for all the love and support! Runni… https://t.co/ukPR8Dt6CX— 🚀MΛG!D (@🚀MΛG!D) 1556438881
