All the Celebrities Who Ran the 2026 New York City Marathon — And How They Did

Jennifer Connelly, Joshua Bassett, Del Water Gap, and Kristine Froseth were some of the stars at this year's marathon. Check out their race times

The New York City Marathon is always a big event, and this year, several celebrities — from actors to musicians to reality stars — were part of the 60,000 runners who joined the 26.2-mile challenge.

Jennifer Connelly was among the racers on Sunday, crossing the finish line with a time of 3:40:09. Other actors included Broadway stars Erika Henningsen, Jordan Litz, and Patina Miller, who clocked in at 5:16:54, 3:13:58, and 3:57:46, respectively. Actress Kristine Froseth also ran the race with a time of 3:53:29, and posed for a post-race photo with Joshua Bassett. The actor-singer ran in support of the National Alliance of Mental Illness and clocked in at 3:36:49. “The only thing close to a marathon that I’ve run is a turkey trot, so this will be a challenge, but I’m doing it for me five years ago; for anybody struggling,” Bassett said in an Instagram video in September.

Bassett wasn’t the only musician in attendance. Samuel Holden Jaffe, known as Del Water Gap, also ran on Sunday. He finished the race with a time of 3:53:25. Harry Styles, a known marathon runner and NYC lover, was not in attendance after wrapping a 30-date residency at Madison Square Garden, but he’s got some impressive times as far as celebrities go. He finished the Berlin Marathon with a 2:59:13 time in September 2025, running under the alias Sted Sarandos, up from when he clocked in at 3:24:07 at the Tokyo Marathon that same year.
