Which Celebrities Are Running The London Marathon 2025?

The 2025 TCS London Marathon looks to be the ‘greatest elite field’ in the race’s history with some of the fastest and most successful marathon runners of all time lining up on Sunday 27 April.

Behind them will be 50,000 other runners, including lots of famous faces from the world of sport and entertainment. Here’s who you should look out for.

In 2025 we’ll see successful sports stars pulling on different kits as they run from Greenwich to The Mall, including three sporting Sirs.

Sir Jason Kenny, Britain’s most successful Olympian, is running his first marathon, while Sir Andrew Strauss and Sir Alastair Cook, two England cricket legends, are running for the Ruth Strauss Foundation.

Comedian Romesh Ranganathan is back to run the London Marathon again after he completed the race in 2024. Pop star Harry Judd, who joined us on the TRC Meets podcast to talk about running, is taking on his third London Marathon, and another friend of the channel, Adele Roberts, is also running. Other names include the ‘Body Coach’ Joe Wicks, radio presenter Chris Evans, comedian Joel Dommett, footballer John Terry, and many more!
