| What Celebrities Are Running The London Marathon |
From Silver Screen to Sweat Screen: Actors on the Move
Dashing Doctors and Dedicated Detectives: We've got word that a few faces from your favourite telly will be gracing the course. Look out for the likes of Ruth Wilson (Luther) and Jamie Borthwick (EastEnders) – though rumour has it Borthwick might be running in character...
Funny Feet and Fundraising: Comedians are a hardy bunch, and this year is no exception. Prepare yourselves for side stitches of laughter (and maybe some actual running-induced ones) as Romesh Ranganathan and Joel Dommett take on the challenge.
Musical Maneuvers: Singers on the Starting Line
Band on the Run (Literally): McFly is taking on a new kind of marathon this year! Bandmates Harry Judd and (according to a very reliable source, aka a pigeon, aka don't quote me on this) Danny Jones will be swapping their guitars for running shoes.
Hitting the High Notes (and Hopefully the Finish Line): We've also heard whispers of singers like Natalie Pinkham gearing up for the big day.
Don't forget all the other amazing non-celebrities who'll be running for fantastic causes!
Politicians in Tights? You Betcha!
This year, the London Marathon is seeing a record number of politicians pounding the pavement. Maybe they're training for a different kind of race...? We'll see!
Tip: Reading with intent makes content stick.
Keep an eye out for these familiar faces (and maybe some questionable running form):
 |
- Chancellor Jeremy Hunt
- A gaggle of MPs and peers
Remember, folks, it's not about winning, it's about participation (and maybe a little healthy competition between politicians)
Tip: Read actively — ask yourself questions as you go.
FAQ: You Ask, We (Sort of) Answer!
How to spot a celebrity runner? Easy! Look for the ones with the biggest entourage, the most dramatic finish line celebrations, and the least likely chance of actually breaking a sweat.
How to avoid getting trampled by celebrities? Stay to the sides of the course and channel your inner ninja dodging skills.
QuickTip: Repetition reinforces learning.
How to run the London Marathon next year? Train hard, enter the ballot early, and pray to the running gods.
How much does it cost to run the London Marathon? The entry fee is a small price to pay for bragging rights (and the chance to potentially outrun a politician).
Tip: Stop when confused — clarity comes with patience.
How to make watching the marathon more interesting? Grab a picnic, some friends, and a pool for who will finish last (don't bet on the politicians!).
