Katie Holmes has signed on to run the Boston Marathon, Us Weekly reports in its new issue, on newsstands now.
The 29-year-old star of Mad Money – who recently said she was “so happy” for Tom Cruise’s pregnant ex Nicole Kidman – had placed 34,193rd among 39,085 entrants in the New York City marathon (26.2 miles in about 5 hours and 30 minutes) on Nov. 4, which means she didn’t qualify by merit for the April 21st race in Boston.
Runners in the Boston Marathon must have specific qualifying times. For Holmes’ age group, that would mean finishing a previous marathon in 3 hours and 40 minutes.
The actress “received an exemption,” a marathon insider tells Us, because race organizers “occasionally give out ‘charity entrances.’”
