Claire Holt Crushes Chicago Marathon Just 11 Months After Third Baby


Claire Holt, star of The Originals and The Vampire Diaries, scored a huge personal best at Chicago Marathon just 11 months after having her third child

Claire HoltDaniele Venturelli/WireImageWhile Chicago Marathon didn’t go to plan for every celebrity and athlete who took part — T.J Holmes left the course in an ambulance at mile 21 after injuring his Achilles — it was an incredible day for Claire Holt: the Vampire Diaries star knocked a huge 19 minutes off her previous marathon time, less than a year after giving birth to her third child. The actress, 36, ran the epic 26.2 mile race in an impressive 3 hours, 44 minutes and 14 seconds — and raised over $100,000 for Boston Children’s Hospital in the process. Holt ran New York Marathon in 2022 in just over four hours, so to knock almost 20 minutes off her personal best just two years later — not least after another pregnancy and birth — is an epic achievement.
