“SHOCKING NEWS!!! Kitty Scott-Claus to run London Marathon in costume in honour of The Vivienne: ‘I miss her so much’
SHOCKING TWIST: Kitty Scott-Claus to Run London Marathon in Drag – “I Miss Her So Much”
In a surprise revelation that’s sending shockwaves through the drag and entertainment community, Kitty Scott-Claus, the beloved RuPaul’s Drag Race UK star, has announced that she will be running the London Marathon – in full costume. But this isn’t just any run, and it’s not just about the spectacle. Kitty is doing it for one person: her dear friend and fellow queen, The Vivienne.
Clad in glitter, glam, and grit, Kitty will take on one of the most physically demanding events in the world, not for attention or fame – but out of deep love and heartbreaking longing. “I miss her so much,” Kitty said in a recent emotional statement. “This run is for her. For everything she stood for, everything she brought into my life, and everything the world lost when she was taken from us.”
While many thought Kitty’s flamboyant persona was all about performance and polish, this deeply personal act reveals an entirely new side of the star: one rooted in grief, strength, and unwavering loyalty. She plans to don a custom-made outfit inspired by The Vivienne’s most iconic look – high heels included – as she crosses every grueling mile of the 26.2-mile marathon course.
Fans are stunned. Support is pouring in from across the world, with hashtags like #RunForVivienne and #KittyMarathonQueen trending on social media. “This is more than a marathon,” one fan tweeted. “This is a tribute. A love letter. A statement that drag isn’t just art – it’s heart.”
Kitty’s decision comes months after the unexpected passing of The Vivienne, who made history as the first-ever winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK. Her charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent touched millions, and her absence has left a void that is still being felt throughout the LGBTQ+ and entertainment communities.
“She was the sister I never had,” Kitty added, choking back tears during a livestream. “We laughed, we cried, we built each other up. She was more than a queen – she was a force. And if I can keep her memory alive with every step I take, then every blister will be worth it.”
Running a marathon is already a tremendous physical and mental challenge – now imagine doing it in full drag. Kitty is fully aware of the toll it will take, but insists it’s the only way she can properly honour Vivienne’s legacy.
“I won’t lie – I’m terrified,” she confessed. “But Vivienne was fearless, and she would’ve told me to do it bigger, do it bolder, and never take the wig off.”
The upcoming marathon promises to be not only a spectacle but a celebration of life, resilience, and chosen family. With cameras expected to follow her every step, Kitty’s journey is shaping up to be one of the most emotionally resonant moments in drag history.
Will she make it to the finish line? One thing’s for sure: she won’t be running alone. With the spirit of The Vivienne beside her and thousands cheering her on, Kitty Scott-Claus is proving that even in stilettos, you can walk – or run – for something greater.
