This year's Boston Marathon will feature several notable celebrities in the mix of participants.
Chelsea Clinton, 46, an author and vice chair of the Clinton Foundation, will participate this year. She has participated in the New York City Marathon and posted a finish time of 3:44:22, 38 seconds under the Boston Marathon qualifying time for her age group, according to Marathon Handbook.
Zdeno Chara, the former Boston Bruins captain, is among the prominent entrants. He aims to beat his 2024 Boston course record of 3:30:53 in this year's Boston Marathon.

Williams, 60, previously competed in the Boston Marathon in 2007, but it wasn't on this planet. She completed the 26.2-mile distance on a treadmill on the International Space Station.
Other notable entrants this year include the following:
