Lot’s of celebrities have taken on the NYC The NYC Marathon; Ryan Reynolds, Katie Holmes, Sean “Puff Daddy” Combs to name but a few. Several celebrities are letting the world know they’re ready to take on the challenge this year. Here are the stars we know that will be on the track come November this year.
Have you ever thought, while are lugging a week’s worth of groceries up your 5th-floor walk up, the NYC Marathon isn’t all that? For myself, the cardiovascular assault that is living in New York City enough exercise to last a lifetime. I prefer to watch the runners from the sidelines, spotting familiar runners who are leading the pack.
As they start to prepare for the race several celebrities from the world of fashion, film, and sports, have thrown their hats in the ring to take on the worlds Larges Marathon. Here are the Celebrities we know so far:
