Katie Piper ran in the Royal Half Parks marathon on Sunday.
The Strictly Come Dancing contestant wished everyone good luck as she started the race in London before competing herself.
Running only her second half marathon, the star donned running shoes to raise money for the Katie Piper Foundation which support burns survivors.
The 35-year-old mother of two, showed off her dancer’s body in a pair of black Nike shorts and a charity T-shirt with her name on it.
Wearing a pair of headphones to listen to music during the 13.1 mile course, Katie certainly looked the part.
The charity run takes in the sites of the capital’s famous landmarks as it travels through Hyde Park, Green Park and Kensington Gardens.
Katie was in good spirits at the event despite the rain and knowing the outcome of the dancing competition which is filmed on Saturday night but aired on Sunday.
The TV personality, who was partnered with Gorka Marquez, found herself in the bottom two of the competition after performing a Jive routine.
The Strictly star and her professional dancer failed to impress the judges with their performance to Frankie Lymon’s Why Do Fools Fall In Love on the night.
They lost the dance off to Casualty actor Charles Venn and Karen Clifton and failed to make it through to the next round.
Katie took to Twitter following the show to thank her dancer partner and wish the remaining contestants in the competition good luck.
She tweeted: “You @gorkamarquez1 are a great teacher and now a great friend of mine @bbcstrictly thank you for having me as part of this fantastic journey good luck to everyone left in the competition!”
