Brandi Chastain and Kerri Strug will Go for the Orange at 2008 New York City Marathon

October 9, 2008 - Last year Katie Holmes ran the New York Marathon. The Celebrity Watch is on for this year’s event which takes place Sunday, November 2nd.

According to the ING Run For Something Better site, former soccer star Brandi Chastain and former gymnastics sensation Kerri Strug will trade in their old Team USA uniforms for orange running jerseys as they take on their next athletic challenge — the New York City Marathon.

Between the two athletes, they have won five Olympic medals — three gold, one silver and one bronze– and two World Cup championships. 

Brandi and Keri will serve as ambassadors for the ING Run for Something Better, a national program that promotes youth fitness and provides funding for free community and school-based running programs across the country.
