Thousands of runners are gearing up to take on the TCS London Marathon this weekend as the 26.2-mile race returns.
Among the participants are dozens of celebrities, stars of both stage and screen, many of whom are running in aid of some great causes.
Last year's event saw comedian Romesh Ranganathan, McFly’s Harry Judd and radio presenter Adele Roberts all successfully cross the finish line.
This year, if you're in the crowd or looking to spectate, keep an eye out for the other celebrities hoping to earn their medal on Sunday.
