Lenny Maughan expresses solidarity with Ukraine in his latest Strava art
Lenny Maughan is using Strava to show support for Ukraine. For his latest creation, the Picasso of Stava art ran nearly 90 miles (145 km) to “draw” a sunflower, which has long been a symbol of peace for the Eastern European country.
Maughan has become widely recognized in the running world for his impressive Strava creations, including his rendition of the artist Frida Kahlo and most recently, his tiger created in honour of the Lunar New Year. These works of art often require hours of preparation and many miles of running to complete.
His sunflower run took 89.5 miles (144 km) and more than 20 hours to complete, on top of five hours of planning before setting off on his run. To make the feat even more impressive, Maughan lives in San Francisco, which is known for its hilly streets, and in total, he gained nearly 10,000 feet (3,000 m) in elevation throughout the entire run.
Runners in Canada and around the world have been using running to express their support for the people of Ukraine with the Ukraine virtual running challenge.
