Shia breaks a sweat

via celebuzz

Shia LaBeouf got down and dirty yesterday… running 26.2 miles in the 25th Los Angeles Marathon! With an admirable finishing time of 4 hours and 35 minutes, the Transformers hottie completed the trek for an equally admirable cause: to help raise money for US VETS, a charity that provides help and support to war veterans.

But he wasn’t the only celeb running for a cause! The Hills’ Audrina Patridge ran her very first marathon on behalf of The Sunshine Kids, a non-profit organization that works to impact the lives of children battling cancer.

Other hardcore Hollywood runners who participated in the event include TV chef Gordon Ramsay and Lord of the Rings’ Sean Astin. AI-alum Allison Iraheta sang the National Anthem to kick off the event. What a star-studded Sunday!

We can’t get enough of these celebs gone good- not only are they making time to contribute to important causes, but they’re getting a hearty workout out of it too.
