Katie Price and Celebrities at The London Marathon 2009
Quite a celeb turnout for the London Marathon but the star of the show has to be Katie Price aka Jordan who was there at the event with her husband Peter Andre. Nell McAndrew, led the celeb pack beating Olympic cyclist Chris Boardman, with the trailers being Gail Emms, Keith Duffy who beat Boyzone mate Ronan Keating, Gordon Ramsay Super TV Chef, Jenni Falconer and Peter Andre and Jordan in that order.
Kate Lawler was also at the event and ran the race wearing a leopard print mini-skirt! Photo below:
Katie Price managed to lose the heels and don the not so glam trainers to run the 26.2 miles course with her husband Peter Andre, she was doing well until about 18 miles when she managed to twist her knee which then had her struggling for the last 8 miles but Peter Andre coaxed her on. She managed to finish in 7 hours and 11 minutes and also managed to raise over a quarter of a million pounds for her charity called Vision.
The Womens Main race was won by Irene Mitikenko of Germany in 2 hours 22 minutes and 11 seconds and second place fell to Brit runner Mara Yamauchi who came home in 2 hours 23 minutes and 12 seconds. Yamauchi is the Paula Radcliffe contender and has her sights on achieving a medal win in the 2012 Olympics to be held in London and is one to keep an eye on!
