London Marathon Celebrities 2016 Performances

According to UK online sports news, the performance of London Marathon Celebrities 2016 was satisfying and in some cases beyond expectations. Those stars who’d rather preferred running 26.2 miles on Sunday instead of having a family lunch at Regents Park watching ducks in the lake, achieved great results in the London Marathon. 

Participants might have seen some famous faces during the race, as Chris Evans, Natalie Dormer, Tim Peake and Ashley James were among the runners, including many other celebrities. After hearing this ‘celebrity alert’, you might feel sorry to miss sweating together with them. However, you can participate in next year’s race, so there is no need to be disappointed. Or at least you can learn how to bet on sports in the UK and bet on your favorite celebrity to win London Marahton.

The English Top Gear presenter finished the marathon with a great result of 04:39:53. Actually, he run a good time indeed as last year’s result showed he was slower then with his time of 04:53:15. The 50-year-old television producer felt very proud due to his success and we can’t disagree with him on that. The Britishmen raised money for the organisation Children in Need.

The 34-year-old Game of Thrones actor seemed to be ready for the second round after she finished the overwhelming race. Her time was incredible, she managed to complete the magical 26.2 miles within 03:51:21. As she noted in a report published on the Independent, she can’t be bothered less with her running results which is 30 seconds slower than last year. (She expressed herself more harshly regarding her achievement using the well-known term doesn’t give a f…. about her results.) She added, the only thing she bothered with was to raise money for the charity, called National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC).

The British astronaut also was one of the celebrity participants of London Marathon. However, from an unusual place and struggling with extreme conditions. He completed the distance from the space, indeed. What a determination that he managed to finish within 03:35:21 which is remarkable since he was running the distance on a treadmill in the International Space Station.

The blonde reality star, Ashley James was running to support the Marie Curie Cancer Care, and she finished right after Natalie Dormer, with 04:10:27. The young celebrity also seemed to be ready for twice a long distance right after the race. Her jumping just proves her Duracell buttery works well. Asking some advice about her breakfast routines wouldn’t harm.
