Who were the fastest celebrities in the 2024 NYC Marathon?

On a crisp fall day yesterday, 55,646 people thundered across the finish line of the 2024 TCS New York City Marathon. Simply crossing the finish line—no matter how long is takes—is a feat. The grit, endurance and stamina (both physical and mental) required to run 26.2 miles across the five boroughs cannot be underestimated. Among those raising money for charities, chasing personal goals and having a ton of fun in this citywide party were a few familiar faces from stage and screen.

So now that the gel packs have been swept from the streets, the sneakers have been unlaced and the signs put away for another year, we’re taking a moment to reflect on the race times for the celebrities who ran the marathon. Below is the full list of celebrities who participated in the marathon with their run times; it’s all organized by speed. Our kudos to all who ran! 

How fast did celebrities run the NYC Marathon 2024?

Casey Neistat: 2 hours, 57 minutes

Famed YouTube blogger Casey Neistat hit his goal of running the NYC Marathon in under three hours! He had a strict “no waving” policy as a way to conserve his energy, and apparently it worked. His race wasn’t without surprising challenges, though, as his running coach Roberto Mandje tripped over a cart someone was pushing across the street, bruising his ribs and leg bone. Nevertheless, Neistat continued on without him keeping pace at a 6:47 minute/mile—that’s fast! His race supported Project Healthy Minds.
