The celebs are on the move.
The 2023 New York City marathon is happening on Sunday, Nov. 5, with around 50,000 runners taking to the streets to race just over 26 miles, all across the city.
Among the runners are a host of celebs. Here’s who to keep an eye out for.
Amy Robach and TJ Holmes
Disgraced former “GMA3” co-hosts Amy Roach, 50, and TJ Holmes, 46, aren’t letting a scandal slow them down. The couple made headlines for their affair last year, which began as they were training together for the New York City half-marathon, so it’s fitting that shortly after they made their relationship public – following their respective divorces – they’re now doing the marathon. The scandal ultimately led to their ouster from “Good Morning America,” but they recently announced a new podcast.
Luke Macfarlane
The “Brothers & Sisters” actor and Hallmark movie star, 43, will make his marathon debut this year, in support of Beyond Type 1, an organization for diabetes research.
Matt James
James, 31, made history as the first black lead in “The Bachelor, for Season 25. This will be the former college football player’s second year in a row running in the marathon. On his Instagram, he posted a video showing off the nine different pairs of shoes that he wore while training. He’ll run in support of ABC Food Tours.
Nev Schulman
The host of the MTV reality show “Catfish,” 39, will be participating in the marathon for his seventh year, and he’ll also act as a guide to other runners who are visually impaired, running with Achillies International, an organization that encourages athletes with disabilities.
Patina Miller
The Tony and Grammy award winning singer, 38, will perform the national anthem at the Staten Island starting point. But she’s not just singing, she’ll also be running, in support of Komera, an organization that helps women’s health and success in Rwanda.
Zdeno Chára
The former pro-hockey player, 46, who played for a range of teams including The New York Islanders and the Boston Bruins, will be running.
Sheinelle Jones
The “Today” correspondent, 45, will be making her marathon debut. “I want to prove that just the average girl, we can do it,” she said on the show. “I am 4’11”. I am not a model. I’m not a runner, but we can do this!”
Harry Hudson
The singer, 30, who is a cancer survivor and a friend of the Kardashians, will run in the marathon for his first time, with Team New Balance. “They thought I was going to die, and now I’m running the New York City Marathon,” he told Runner’s World.
