Katie Holmes treatment at Marathon

by Eliza Ferree

Katie in NYC Marathon

It seems many are upset over Katie Holmes being in the recent NYC marathon and it isn’t because she faked her name to Kate Smith. Turns out many think she got special treatment, for instance many had to sign up months in advance but Katie signed up AFTER the deadline. What’s your take on that? Should this be allowed?

60,000 other runners were denied to run in the event, however Katie ran it and didn’t qualify. Yes, she ran the whole thing, however her time was 5 hours, 29 minutes and 58 seconds to qualify she would’ve had to run it 3 hours and 23 minutes. How should one of the runners that could’ve done this feel?

Richard Finn, Director of Media Relations for marathon was asked about the special treatment:

“Celebrities and people with name recognition are important to every sport, it adds glitz and glamor.

Does Billy Crystal have trouble getting tickets to the Yankees World Series? No.

Do celebrities have trouble getting reservations in hot restaurants? No. In fact, they probably don’t even pay for the meals much of the time.�
