So apparently it’s a tradition for people to run the London Marathon in crazy costumes. Anyone who can run 26.2 miles is amazing to me, let alone someone who can run it in dressed in full Storm Trooper garb. Check out my list for the 50 best costumes from this past week’s marathon. It’s like a Halloween party where everyone wears running shoes.

    [...] One advantage of not running the London marathon states Bob is to avoid the jostling crowds and bumping into giant Rhinos.  The costumes are becoming more and more elaborate – who can forget the chap in the deep sea diving costume and a jogging Elvis/Santa/cross dresser never fails to bring a smile to TV viewers and a cheer of support from the crowds that line the entire route.  Heres 50 London marathon costumes.
