'Sick Boy' aims for marathon win
Trainspotting star Jonny Lee Miller is leading the race to be the first celebrity to finish this year's marathon.
Miller, who played Sick Boy in the Brit flick, is at 2-1 ahead of Richard Dunwoody, the most successful jockey in English national hunt racing and Tony Audenshaw, who plays Bob Hope in Emmerdale, who are both at 3-1.
Actor Daniel Macpherson, of The Bill, is at 4-1.
Ladbrokes have made Miller the favourite among their list of celebrities because he ran the 26.2 mile event in just over three hours in 2000.
Audenshaw ran last year's marathon in 3hrs 8mins and 20secs while Macpherson, a keen tri-athlete, has a personal best of 3hrs 28mins and 46secs.
"Jonny is at the peak of his fitness," Ladbrokes spokesman Warren Lush said.
"Jonny has been keeping himself in shape recently and is certainly not a sick boy."
Michel Roux is battling it out with Gordon Ramsay for the fastest chef title.
Roux ran 3hrs 20mins and 54secs last year. Bookies have placed odds on Roux at 14-1 and Ramsay at 66-1.
Former Olympic breaststroke champion Adrian Moorhouse is at 25-1 along with Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels actor Jason Flemyng.
