Short description
Five years after jilting his pregnant fiancée on their wedding day, out-of-shape Dennis decides to run a marathon to win her back.
What's left behind the scenes
- A poster for the film 'Team America: World Police' can be spotted in the film.
- The film's soundtrack includes a song by The Fratellis. Another song by the band is also featured on the soundtrack of "Hot Fuzz," starring the same Simon Pegg.
- Harish Patel was cast as Mr. Goshdastidar, even though he couldn't ride a scooter at all. Before filming began, the actor took several scooter riding lessons to avoid accidentally running someone over on set.
- The original plot of the film took place during a marathon in Los Angeles. When it was decided that the film would be shot by the British, the setting was changed to London. Because the London Marathon was already 'booked' by the crew of another film, the creators of 'Run, Fatboy, Run' used the fictional Nike River Run marathon instead.
- When male nudity is required in scenes, they traditionally cover the penis with a sort of flesh-colored modesty pouch. This pouch kept slipping out of place, so the actor playing Whit, Hank Azaria, decided to go without it altogether, but warned director David Schwimmer not to tell Peggy. That’s why Peggy’s expression of surprise when Azaria was left without a towel was entirely genuine.

- When men are involved in nude scenes, they traditionally cover their penis with a flesh-colored modesty pouch. For some reason, the provided pouch would not stay in place, so Hank Azaria, who played the role of White, eventually decided to go without it, but warned director David Schwimmer not to tell Pegg. That is why the expression of astonishment on Pegg's face when Azaria was left without a towel was not at all acted.
