All the celebs running the 2024 TCS NYC Marathon — from Randall Park to ‘Vampire Diaries’ alum Claire Holt
These celebs are putting their best foot forward.
The 2024 TCS New York City Marathon takes place on November 3, with more than 50,000 runners set to hit the Big Apple and run more than 26 miles across the five boroughs.
And the list of those who signed up is star-studded. Here are some familiar faces to keep an eye on at the finish line this year
Randall Park
The 50-year-old actor, who starred in hit series like “Fresh Off the Boat” and “Blockbuster,” is in line to run the race.
Amy Robach and TJ Holmes
Favorite former “GMA3” anchors will once again run in the marathon — the fourth marked for Robach, 51, and the third for Holmes, 47. The couple and podcast host made headlines two years ago for their relationship that began as they trained together for the New York City half-marathon.
Neve Shulman
After a horrific bike accident over the summer, “Catfish” hosts marathons and acts as blind runner Francisco’s guide in concert with Achilles International, an organization that encourages disabled athletes.
The 40-year-old shared footage on Instagram last week of herself training for the race after a frustrating hospital stay. “The voice in my head reminds me that I’m lucky to be here. I feel blessed to have another chance to run the NYC Marathon on November 3rd,” Shulman wrote. “Thank you for all the love and support.”
Claire Holt
The “Vampire Diaries” alum will be running her second NYC Marathon this year and has continued to train for the race over the past year.
After finishing the Chicago Marathon earlier this month, Holt, 36, wrote on Instagram, “I think one of the most important traits in life is humility, but I’m going to be proud of myself. I’ve been waking up at 4 a.m. all summer to train for this race. . It was really hard and I asked a lot of my family in those 4 months. I often doubted myself, and I was sick to my stomach at the thought of letting someone down.”
“But today I ran a personal best of 19 minutes (3:44:14) 11 months after having my 3rd child. I did it because of the incredible generosity of friends, family and kind-hearted strangers. I did it because you believed in me and because. Together we raised over $100,000 to help Boston Children’s Hospital address the mental health crisis. I am beyond grateful to all of you. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.”

Matt James
James, 32, who made history as the first black lead on “The Bachelor” season 25, will run for a third year in a row. On her Instagram, she shared some tips for others as they prepare for the race.
“6 Tips for Running the NYC Marathon,” James captioned the video.
Peter Weber
Another member of Bachelor Nation is set to run. Weber, 33, revealed that he was only going to play one song on his headphones for the entire 26.2 miles.
“I’ve been singing the same song throughout the race — Kids in Love by Kygo,” Weber told Us Weekly earlier this week. “This is my race song. It works for me and it puts me in a very meditative, trance-like state. I kind of go in and out—take in the energy of the city and then go back between the ears.”
Taishia Adams
The television originally rose to fame as a contestant on season 23 of “The Bachelor” before appearing on the sixth season of “Bachelor in Paradise.”
Adams, 34, is running with Team Maybelline alongside Holt for the second year in a row.
“NYC Marathon, Round 2!!” He wrote on social media holding his number. “Bib #38793 in hand and ready for the big day! Can’t wait to see you all out there cheering — I’m going to need every bit of that energy!”
Vinny Guadagnino
The “Jersey Shore” star is running the NYC Marathon for the first time Guadagnino took to social media to let followers know he was ready to fist pump at the finish line.
“Here we go guys! I signed up to run my first @nycmarathon! A few years ago I could barely run a few miles and here we are shooting for 26.2M on my iconic NYC streets!” He shared on Instagram.
Training for the big event was “a bit of a rollercoaster,” he admits.
