Each year the London Marathon brings together people from all walks of life, including amateur runners and Olympic athletes and stars from across the world of showbiz.
Over the years, big names, including Harry Potter star James Phelps, Wicked actress Cynthia Erivo and radio veteran Chris Evans have all taken on the race in the capital.
From musicians to recognisable TV personalities, several celebs are set to join marathon participants at this year’s event. While some of them are seasoned pros, for others, it’s their first time taking part.
This year McFly drummer Harry Judd, ninth Doctor Who actor Christopher Eccleston, comedian Romesh Ranganathan and Masked Singer host Joel Dommett are just some of the celebs set to don their running shoes.
Here are some of the celebrities London Marathon watchers can expect to see running the capital race this Sunday (April 21).
