Ten thousand other people have been chosen as well, including runners, ordinary folks and such celebrities as Olympians Janet Evans and Sugar Ray Leonard. (Though Gloria Estefan hasn't quite confirmed, Billy Ray Cyrus had to decline the opportunity, and Jeopardy's Alex Trebek won't turn up till the very end.)
