Every year the celebs get their zoomies out, usually while helping a charity, while running the New York City Marathon. This year, more than 50,000 (non-famous) runners took the the NY streets. According to CBS News, Sheila Chepkirui of Kenya won the women’s race in 2 hours, 24 minutes and 35 seconds. Abdi Nageeye of the Netherlands won the men’s race in 2 hours, 7 minutes and 39 seconds. But how did Vinny from Jersey Shore do? That’s what we wanna know. Did T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach improve on their times, now that they can shout their love from the rooftops? Below are how the celebs fared at the 2024 New York City Marathon.

Casey Neistat

The fastest famous at the NYC Marathon was YouTuber Casey Neistat. According to Runner’s World, Neistat broke the the three hour mark at 2:57:48 — all the more impressive because his doctor had recently told him he’d never run again.

Matt James

The first Black lead of The Bachelor was once again one of the fastest celeb runners of the NYC Marathon. His 2024 time (3:29:26) was slightly behind his 2023 time, but still a great showing. He was running for ABC Food Tours.

Claire Holt

Well of course one of the Originals can run really fast. Claire Holt finished the NYC Marathon in 3:42:43, on behalf of Team Maybelline, who is partnered with National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI).

Jennifer Connelly

Have you ever seen the early Connelly joint Phenomena? The ending is one of the most surprising last-minutes saves in cinema. Less surprising was the veteran runner Connelly’s very respectable (3:45:47) finish.

Peter Weber

Another member of Bach Nation ran the NYC Marathon in just under 4 hours (3:58:25). Weber was Faithful to the race, making a big improvement from his 2021 time of 5:16:09.

Randall Park

Always Be My Maybe star Randall Park ran his marathon this year at 4:16:18. He was raising funds for Kulture City. The org works for inclusion of children with special needs, particularly autism.

Vinny Guadagnino

Jersey Shore’s Vinny Guadagnino can’t run from the MAGA allegations, but he can run a marathon. In 4:19:44, to be exact.

Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes

Amy Robach outran her boo T.J. Holmes by one second. Robach finished in 4:41:40 while Holmes came in at 4:41:41. Ladies first?
