Are We Running Out of Celebrity Runners?

The guy on the right will be running the New York City Marathon with Team McGraw to raise money for the Tug McGraw Foundation, reports the Grand Rapids Press.

But he’s not Tug’s famous country singer son, Tim. He’s Tim McGraw impersonator Lee Crites.

The Press reported that “Jeff McMahon, the keyboardist for McGraw’s band, The Dancehall Doctors, and director of Team McGraw, approached the Grand Rapids resident about six months ago after meeting him at a concert. ‘He recognized me right away,’ Crites said.”

I’m amazed that Oprah, P. Diddy and Valerie Bertinelli didn’t think of this first. I’m thinking of outsourcing my next race myself.
