The 2024 TCS New York City Marathon is just around the corner, set to take place on November 3rd. Over 50,000 runners will be participating in this iconic race that spans more than 26 miles across all five boroughs of the Big Apple. What makes this year’s marathon even more exciting is the star-studded lineup of celebrities who are gearing up to hit the pavement and show off their running skills.
One familiar face you might spot at the finish line is actor Randall Park. Known for his roles in hit series like “Fresh off the Boat” and “Blockbuster,” the 50-year-old actor is all set to take on the challenge of the NYC Marathon this year.
Another couple to watch out for is former “GMA3” anchors Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes. This will be Robach’s fourth time running the marathon and Holmes’ third. The duo, who also host a podcast together, made headlines for their affair two years ago while training for the New York City half-marathon.
Fans of the show “Catfish” will be delighted to see host Nev Schulman running the marathon this year. After a bike accident earlier this summer, Schulman is not only participating in the race but also acting as a guide to blind runner Fransisco in collaboration with Achilles International, an organization that supports athletes with disabilities.
“Vampire Diaries” alum Claire Holt will also be running her second NYC marathon this year. After completing the Chicago Marathon recently, the 36-year-old actress took to Instagram to share her journey and express her gratitude for the support she received during her training.
Matt James, known for being the first black lead on “The Bachelor,” will be running the NYC marathon for the third consecutive year. He even shared some tips for fellow runners gearing up for the race on his Instagram.
Another Bachelor Nation member, Peter Weber, is all set to run the marathon with just one song playing in his headphones for the entire 26.2 miles. Weber revealed that the song “Kids in Love” by Kygo helps him stay focused and in a meditative state during the race.
Television personality Tayshia Adams, who rose to fame on “The Bachelor” and “Bachelor in Paradise,” will be running with Team Maybelline for the second year in a row. Adams expressed her excitement for the marathon on social media and can’t wait to feel the energy of the crowd cheering her on.
“Jersey Shore” star Vinny Guadagnino is gearing up to run his first-ever NYC marathon. He shared his journey on social media, highlighting the challenges he faced during training and his excitement to cross the finish line while raising money for the National Alliance on Mental Illness of New York City.
As these celebrities lace up their running shoes and prepare to take on the challenge of the 2024 TCS New York City Marathon, fans can look forward to seeing their favorite stars race through the streets of the Big Apple and cheer them on every step of the way.
