At times, watching long distance running on the television can be a dour affair. It is a light reprieve, in terms of marathon running, that competitors don some obscure costumes to keep the audience entertained. MR’s Jimmy Norval picks six of the very best running costumes.
1. “You might have seen a housefly, maybe even a superfly, but I bet you ain’t never seen a donkeyfly!” (Shrek, 2001)
2. Gorilla clearly enjoying the company of Chef and Foamy the Fire Extinguisher…
3. “Mama always said, dying was a part of life. I sure wish it wasn’t.” (Forrest Gump, 1994)
4. “Do you need a bag for that, Madam?” (Tesco, 2014)
5. “Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.” (William Shakespeare)
6. “The tiger springs in the new year. Us he devours.” (T.S Eliot)
