Of the 43,741 people who ran the New York City Marathon on Sunday, a handful stood out, both for having claims to fame and for their reasons for running.
Alanis Morrissette, former ER doc Anthony Edwards, The Incredible Hulk‘s Edward Norton and Christopher Reeve’s son Matthew battled through the sweat and determination on the streets of the Big Apple, all for a good cause.
“It was such a thrill but I’m burnt,” Edwards told PEOPLE moments after crossing the finish line. “I’m totally tired! But that’s the point. I’m just so happy that I finished. But tomorrow I’m going to feel happier.”
He said he’d do it again in a New York minute.
“I would absolutely do it again,” Norton, 40, said. “I had a great time! It was really fun to do it with friends and for a good cause. We were enormously successful with our fundraising.”
Norton is lending his celebrity support to the Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust to help provide education and health services to the indigenous people in Kenya and Tanzania.
