BOLDFACED FEAT
Celeb NYC Marathon men
You’re not being “Punk’d”: Ashton Kutcher is running the New York City Marathon.
He is among several boldfaced names signed up for the Nov. 6 race, including former Giants running back and current radio personality Tiki Barber; MTV’s “Catfish” host Nev Schulman; and T.J. Holmes of “Good Morning America.”
“I think this is my one chance to beat Ashton Kutcher,” Schulman told The Post.
Barber will be running the five-borough, 26.2-mile race for the eighth time.
“I’m fortunate that I got away with good joints and knees,” Barber said of his time in the NFL.
His first NYC Marathon was in 2015.
“I did it kind of not really knowing how to train for it, and I sucked at it,” he said of his 5-hour, 14-minute time. “And told myself that I’m never doing that again because it was so painful. But I mean, as runners will tell you, as soon as you finish one, you’re like, when’s the next one?”
Barber — whose running partner while he trains is his dog CJ, a Saluki — will be hitting the pavement for KultureCity, a nonprofit that works for sensory inclusion for those with conditions like autism.
Schulman, who is running his sixth New York City Marathon, trains with his wife, Laura Perlongo, and the couple can be found working out at Dogpound on Canal Street “post-school drop off ” of their three kids.
“We love it,” the Brooklyn resident said. “She’s much more fit than me.”
The Upper West Side native, 38, has a special connection to the race because his father would take him and his brother to the finish line every year. That’s why he only wants to see one person when he’s done: his dad, who lives near the race’s end, on 68th and Central Park West.
“That’s all I really need,” he said.
This is the first marathon for Holmes, who said he has his “GMA” co-anchor Amy Robach to thank for becoming more serious about the pastime.
“I’ve always run . . . but she’s the one that got me into keeping up with my time and distance,” he explained.
A Financial District resident, Holmes gets up around 4 every morning, but if he’s filling in for Michael Strahan, he’ll wake up as early as 2 a.m. — and still manages to get in a pre-work run.
