The 2025 TCS London Marathon has concluded and the celebrities who competed this year are eager to chat about their experiences!

In a video posted by GB News, Spencer Matthews, Harry Judd, and Danny Mills gave their thoughts about the marathon and the people they focused on during the race's toughest stretch.

All three men ran for a purpose bigger than themselves and seemed happy with their performances. Then again, if you listen closely, the men sounded like simply surviving the race was a massive task on its own!

According to Matthews himself, this was his first attempt at the London Marathon.

The TV personality and entrepreneur said that his race time of three hours and five minutes gave him a new benchmark to work towards as he continues to develop his stamina and performance as a runner.

Spencer also played up the amazing experience he had during the race because of the great audience supporting the race in person.

Matthews gave all the credit to the crowd around him and said that they kept him going during the race's roughest patches.

Harry Judd's run for The Children's Trust

Harry Judd revealed that he was running for a bigger purpose than himself.

The drummer for the pop rock band McFly shared that he ran to raise money for The Children's Trust . Pictures of the musician from the event show that he wore a cut off t-shirt with the organization's logo on it.

Unlike Spencer Matthews, it appears The Children's Trust's mission kept Judd motivated throughout the race instead of the wild crowd.

The Children's Trust raises money for children who suffer from brain injuries and neurological disabilities.

Judd repeatedly expressed that he was privileged to represent the charity during his run but was happy it was finally over once he crossed the finish line.

Danny Mills' kids would have never let him live it down if he didn't finish

"If I gave up, I think they'd never forgive me," was definitely the heaviest quote gathered by GB News during their interviews.

Danny Mills, who once excelled as a pro in the club and international ranks, said that he aims to be an example for his children.

Mills revealed that he continuously encourages his kids to finish what they start and, as a result, needed to push through the marathon so he could practice what he preaches.

The footballer also shared that a couple of his children are athletes themselves, which means that there could have been some household bragging rights on the line as well!

The full results of the London Marathon can be found on here on London Marathon Event's official website. If you let them tell it, the men profiled in this article won't be that high on the list.

However, finishing a major marathon of any kind is a huge accomplishment and should be congratulated regardless!
