Scores of famous faces were among the thousands of people who crossed the London Marathon finish line on Sunday.
With the likes of Wicked actress Cynthia Erivo, Sir Alastair Cook, James Norton and even Daddy Pig among the 59,000 runners, you wouldn’t have had to to look too far to spot a celebrity.
Erivo completed her race in around three hours and 21 minutes, setting a new personal best and beating her previous time of three hours and 35 minutes achieved in 2022.
After she completed the 26.2-mile run, the exhausted star was helped to a seat where she rested before speaking to the media.
The Oscar-nominated actress said: “There was a little rough moment where I thought it was never going to make it, but then I found a little bit of strength.
“I’m here, and I feel really proud.”
Speaking after completing his race, former England cricket captain Sir Alastair said his favourite part was the finish.
“Apart from that, just seeing the number of people that come out.
“I just say, seeing my little boy (Jack) and my family at around about the 20-mile mark, it didn’t inspire me to run any faster, because I was done, but it was nice to see his face.”
Asked how running a marathon compares to playing cricket, Sir Alastair said: “Cricket’s easy. When you’ve finished, when you’re not very good, you cash out and sit down. There’s no hiding place here.”
BBC broadcaster Sophie Raworth and former British women’s tennis No 1 Laura Robson also completed the race on Sunday.
