The celebrity runners announced so far are: Tony Audenshaw (barman Bob Hope in Emmerdale), Ursula Marsden (Alice in Emmerdale), Chris Chittell (Eric Pollard in Emmerdale) Shauna MacDonald (Spooks and British Horror film The Descent), Ian Bustard (Hustle, Piccadilly Cowboy), and Emma Atkins (ex-Emmerdale). Further names will be announced closer to the event.
