Once again, the New York City Marathon offered ordinary runners a rare opportunity: a chance to measure up to (and perhaps beat) celebrity runners like the actor Ashton Kutcher or former New York Giants running back Tiki Barber.
Among the 50,000 participants in the New York marathon, throngs of amateur runners shared the racecourse with popular figures from the worlds of television, cinema and sports. Among the famous runners who participated in this year’s race are Ellie Kemper of “The Office” and “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt”; T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach of ABC’s “Good Morning America”; and Kutcher, who as part of his efforts raised more than $1 million for Thorn, the nonprofit technology company he co-founded to help prevent sexual exploitation of children.
Here are some of the finish times of this year’s famous runners. (Kutcher’s time was not publicly listed but is based on a result associated with his bib number.)
