Where do you rank among the stars?
Are you faster than Freddie Prinze Jr.? Probably. But did you outrun the guy from ABBA? Maybe not. Check the iRun Celebrity Marathon Timeline to see where you rank among the rich and famous.
Lance Armstrong, 7-time Tour de France winner
2007 New York City Marathon: 2:46:42
The only time he's ever been happy finishing 698th.
Laurent Jalabert, French cycling champion
2005 New York City Marathon: 2:55:39
A sub-three-hour performance, yes. But once again, he's slower than Armstrong.
Clarence Thomas, U.S. Supreme Court Justice
1980 Marine Corps Marathon: 3:11:00*
Wasn't stopped by a hill.
Joe Strummer, guitarist and singer of The Clash
1982 Paris Marathon: 3:20*
"Should I stay or should I go?" If Strummer told the truth about his race time, he went, and fast!
Scott Russell, CBC sportscaster
2004 Mississauga Marathon: 3:20:23
He was not wearing a vintage orange Sportsweekend jacket.
Bjrn Ulvaeus, ABBA vocalist
1980 Stockholm Marathon: 3:23:54
Mamma Mia! He took a chance on the marathon and made us wonder what would happen if he'd been Bjorn again as a Masters runner.
William Baldwin, actor
1992 New York City Marathon: 3:24:29
A PB set while sprinting wildly from the family curse that has befallen every Baldwin except Alec. Okay, maybe him too.
John Edwards, former US senator and presidential candidate
1983 Marine Corps Marathon: 3:30:18
Edwards proves there's no correlation between running successfully and, well, running successfully.
Michael Dukakis, former Massachusetts governor and presidential candidate
1951 Boston Marathon: 3:31:00
See John Edwards, above.
Joan Van Ark, actor
1979 Santa Ana/Orange Marathon: 3:35:00
If Val Ewing had shot JR, no one would have been able to catch her.
Charles Gibson , news anchor
1983 Marine Corps Marathon: 3:43:24
He had a good morning, America.
George W. Bush, US president
1993 Houston Marathon: 3:44:52
No one talked him into running; he is the decider.
Kristin Armstrong, Runner's World contributing editor
2004 New York City Marathon: 3:45: 53
Qualified for Boston long before 'wuzband' Lance did.
Peter Weller, actor
1988 New York City Marathon: 3:51:26
Would have been faster if he'd agreed to take off his Robocop armour.
Kim Alexis, actor and supermodel
1992 New York City Marathon: 3:52:00
This makes her America's fastest top model.
Gordon Ramsay, chef, TV personality, Hell's Kitchen
2002 London Marathon: 3:52:14
Under four hours, but still probably cursing at the finish line.
Anthony Edwards, actor
2003 Chicago Marathon: 3:55:40
Didn't need to go to ER after the race.
Will Ferrell, actor
2003 Boston Marathon: 3:56:12
Under four hours, but not fast enough to go Semi-Pro.
Meredith Baxter, actor
1982 New York City Marathon: 4:08:30
Right at the beginning of a long run for Family Ties, she went for a long run.
Kerri Strug, gymnast
1999 Houston Marathon: 4:12:06
Stretching after the race wasn't a problem.
Sean Combs, rap artist
2002 New York City Marathon: 4:14:54
Or whatever his name was that month.
Oprah Winfrey, TV host
1994 Marine Corps Marathon: 4:29:20
Good enough to land her the cover spot on O magazine!
Bill Rancic, season-one winner of the Apprentice
2001 Chicago Marathon: 4:31:31
Bill, you're tired!
Lisa Ling, formerly of The View
Boston Marathon 2002: 4:34:18
Given a choice between Heartbreak Hill and working with Rosie O'Donnell, she chose Heartbreak.
Mike Huckabee, Arkansas governor and presidential candidate
2005 Little Rock Marathon: 4:39:04
Forgot the flat tax for one day in search of a flat course.
David James Elliott, actor
2000 Boston Marathon: 4:57:23
JAG star qualified under little-known provision for hunky men in uniform.
Al Gore, former US vice-president
1997 Marine Corps Marathon: 4:58:25
The incovenient truth is this: Gore's marathon PB is almost 1:15 slower than Dubya's. No re-count required.
Ted Koppel, news anchor
1983 Marine Corps Marathon: 5:09:08
From Nightline to porta-potty line?
Katie Holmes, actor
2007 New York City Marathon: 5:29:58
Or roughly the time it would take you to watch her husband in all three Mission Impossible movies, if you skipped the credits.
Mario Lopez, actor
2002 Boston Marathon: 5:41:41
Saved by the Bell? More like saved by the guaranteed charity entry. Lopez's finish time was over 2 hours slower than the Boston qualifying time for a man his age.
Freddie Prinze Jr., actor
2006 LA Marathon: 5:50:49
I know what you didn't do last summer: Train!
David Lee Roth, 80s rock star
1987 New York City Marathon: 6:04:43
Jump? Might as well walk.
