VIDEO: James Corden and Gordon Ramsay have made a marathon pact

The two celebrities have agreed to run the Los Angeles Marathon in 2020

James Corden and Gordon Ramsay made a pact to run the Los Angles Marathon together in 2020. The chef was discussing his transformation from a novice runner to a 3:30 marathoner on the Late Late Show this week, when he challenged Corden to run 42.2K.

Corden initially said, “Are you joking? Have you met me? Me – run a marathon?” But Corden came around to the idea. The L.A. marathon typically takes place in March, so the two have just over a year and a half to train. Ramsay’s personal best is from the 2004 London Marathon, where he ran 3:30:37.
