Celebrities including Edward Norton and Alanis Morissette completed the New York City Marathon on Sunday, according to People.com.
"It was such a thrill but I'm burnt," Norton 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."
Norton said he'd do the race again in the future. "I would absolutely do it again," he 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 ran the marathon for Shoe4Africa, which is raising funds to build the first public children's hospital in Kenya.
"I wanted to get somewhere near 4 and I got it. But it was a challenge," Norton said of his 4 hours and 8 minutes finish time. "I haven't done a marathon in seven years. It reminded me how much it really pushes you."
Morissette ran the race for the Massai Wilderness Conservation Trust. "My assistant Leah and I were talking about doing a marathon together, and then my twin brother literally sent me an e-mail saying within two days of me deciding I want to do one ... saying do you want to do a marathon together?" she told People on Sept. 20. "So I said yeah we're having one of those telepathy twin moments so my twin brother is doing it with me and Leah and a bunch of friends are going to come out and support."
