Who's Running This Town (and the NYC Marathon)?
Okay, so, the NYC Marathon is happening. Big whoop, right? Every year, thousands of people lace up their sneakers and pretend they're going to win. Newsflash: most of them aren't winning. But hey, at least they're getting some exercise, I guess.

The Celebrity Stampede
Now, let’s talk about the real stars of the show: the celebrities. Every year, a handful of famous folks decide to trade in their red carpets for running shoes. It’s like a bizarre episode of Survivor, but with less yelling and more Lycra.
Tip: Read at your natural pace.
We’ve got actors, singers, and even reality TV stars putting their endurance to the test. I mean, I can barely run to the fridge for a midnight snack, so I'm impressed. Though, I'm pretty sure if I had a personal trainer, a nutritionist, and a team of people to massage my feet, I could probably run a marathon too.
Reminder: Short breaks can improve focus.
But who’s actually going to win?
Tip: Skim only after you’ve read fully once.

Let’s be honest, most of these celebrities are probably just there for the PR. They’ll cross the finish line, smile for the cameras, and then go back to their normal lives of luxury. But hey, good for them for trying something new. Maybe next year they’ll try knitting or underwater basket weaving.
Tip: Reading carefully reduces re-reading.
So, Who’s Actually Running This Thing?
I’ve done some digging, and here’s a quick rundown of some famous faces you might spot on the course:
- The Reality TV All-Stars: If you’re a fan of dramatic breakups and manufactured drama, you might recognize a few faces from your favorite shows. Just don’t expect any epic fights or alliances formed on the running track.
- Actors and Actresses: Hollywood’s finest will be trading in their scripts for running shoes. I’m curious to see if they can act their way through 26.2 miles of pain.
- Musicians: Some of your favorite singers and bands will be putting their stamina to the test. I’m just hoping they don’t start singing while they run. That would be a disaster.
How to...
- How to train for a marathon like a celebrity: Hire a personal trainer, a nutritionist, and a team of people to massage your feet.
- How to survive a marathon without being a celebrity: Wear comfortable shoes, drink plenty of water, and bribe someone to carry you the last mile.
- How to pretend you ran a marathon: Post a selfie in running gear, use a running app filter, and lie about your time.
- How to actually run a marathon: Start slow, build up your distance gradually, and don't forget to eat your carbs.
- How to enjoy the NYC Marathon as a spectator: Get a good spot, cheer loudly, and maybe bring some snacks to share.
So, there you have it. The NYC Marathon is about to go down, and while I won't be there to cheer on the runners (I'm more of a couch potato), I'll be rooting for all of them to make it to the finish line. Except for the reality TV stars. They can walk.
