Around 50,000 people will run in the 2023 TCS New York City Marathon this Sunday, Nov. 5 — and among the runners taking to the streets of NYC will be a number of celebrities. Famous people from TV shows, movies, music and sports will be running the 26.2 mile course, with celebs like MTV's Nev Schulmann and former Stanley Cup champion Zdneo Chára participating. 

Not only is Marathon Sunday in New York a special celebration of athletic achievement, but it is also a celebration of the millions of dollars raised for charities all over the world. In 2022, New York Road Runners, which organizes the race, reported that runners raised $52.3 million for their official charity partners in the 2021 marathon and the 2022 half-marathon. 

Leading up to last year's New York City Marathon, actor Ashton Kutcher raised over $1 million for his charity, Thorn, which helps fight child sex abuse, according to People magazine.

New York Road Runners lists several notable figures planning to take part in this year's race. Spectators can even track their favorite stars via the TCS New York City Marathon app. Here are some names to look out for:
