"CBS News anchor and national correspondent Errol Barnett is an avid runner who frequently shares about his running journey on and on . Last March, he documented his NYC Half experience on YouTube, saying that although it had been his slowest half marathon to date at 1:38:47 with a 7:33 split, "I finally learned, after all this time, how to properly pace myself. [...] Now, I have those memories and these skills to take with me forever." Considering he a 3:17:01 time in last year's NYC Marathon, it seems likely he'll beat out his NYC Half time in the Brooklyn Half on Saturday."
"Broadway's current Elphaba, also known for her role as Jane Seymour in Six the Musical, will be running her first-ever race before performing in Wicked this Saturday."
"You may know Matt James as the former Bachelor whose relationship frequently made headlines, but the former football player is actually a serious runner who has finished multiple marathons, most recently the 2026 Boston Marathon in April."
"Patina Miller, star of Raising Kanan and winner of multiple Tony Awards (for roles in Sister Act and Pippin), started running just a few years ago but has grown in leaps and bounds ever since. She's run marathons in New York, London, and Berlin, reaching a PR of 3:52:44 in the NYC Marathon last year. And she's done it all as a supporter of NYRR Team for Kids; last year, she mentored a youth cohort for NYRR's Run for the Future race."
The 2026 Brooklyn Half will include approximately 29,000 runners and also feature well-known actors, reality stars, and Peloton instructors. The event will bring familiar public figures who have running experience and share their training and race results. CBS News anchor Errol Barnett is an avid runner who previously described learning how to pace himself during the NYC Half, and his past marathon time suggests he may improve his half-marathon performance. Broadway performer Keri René Fuller will run her first race before performing in Wicked. Matt James, known from The Bachelor, has completed multiple marathons, including the 2026 Boston Marathon. Patina Miller has run marathons in major cities and supports NYRR Team for Kids through mentoring youth runners.
