The 2025 TCS New York City Marathon is about to unfold, and our minds need a jog to recall all the stars who will be running. Harry Potter fans will be raising a glass of butterbeer to Oliver Phelps, who played George Weasley in the films, as he embarks on his maiden marathon on November 2nd. "To be honest, I've never really run in my life," he confessed on a September episode of talkSPORT. "A friend asked me back in April, 'Do you fancy doing the New York Marathon?' I was like, 'Yeah sure, how hard could it be?' After I said yes, I couldn't even run a kilometer."
While Oliver won't be waving a magic wand at the finish line, he has been training diligently. And he's not the only actor lacing up their sneakers. Anthony Ramos from In the Heights, Claire Holt from The Originals, and Lauren Ridloff from Eternals are all set to hit the course too.
Several Bachelor Nation stars will also be embarking on the journey of 26.2 miles, including Joey Graziadei, Tyler Cameron, Matt James, Zac Clark, Joe Amabile, Tanner Courtad, and Tayshia Adams. "The training runs, the strength workouts, the cheers from the sidelines all remind me why I keep showing up," the former Bachelorette wrote in an October 27th Instagram post. "I'm strong, I'm resilient, and honestly...I'm apparently a little crazy because this is my 3rd marathon and I'm already planning for my next."
And if you were hoping a hot new bombshell would enter the race, you're in luck: Love Island USA's Bryan Arenales, Nic Vansteenberghe, and Elan Bibas are all competing. They'll be joined by reality TV stars Chloe Lukasiak from Dance Moms and Carl Radke from Summer House. Plus, TV hosts Phil Keoghan from The Amazing Race and Nev Schulman from Catfish will be heading towards the finish line too.
