On Saturday, August 8, he\u2019ll run 50 kilometers (over 31 miles) while pushing a custom-built DJ rig made from a modified stroller. The event is estimated to take a whopping seven hours and he\u2019ll be spinning continuous tunes the whole time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having completed seven Ironmans and seven marathons between 2020 and 2025, Palermo is no stranger to pushing limits. He was born in Miami to Cuban and Italian parents, discovering his love for the genre as a teenager at Ultra Music Festival. As he got older, he\u2019d spend time at Club Space and build a career in events, sales and entrepreneurship. With all those completed endurance races under his belt (and non-stop dancing at Club Space, we imagine), it\u2019s only natural that BPMATHON would be the next step.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe idea came about when I saw videos online of people running 5Ks while DJing, and I said to myself, \u2018Why not run 50K?\u2019\u201d he shared. \u201cThis is a real challenge for me because just running 50K without DJing is difficult, and just DJing for seven hours without running is difficult. Doing both at the same time will definitely push me to a new limit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Photo-Collage-35-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Miami DJ Eddy Palermo\" class=\"wp-image-63304\"  \/>Courtesy of Eddy Palermo<\/p>\n<p>Running and DJing for a cause<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But it\u2019s not just about setting a world record.
