I'm not sure I could even do a 5K in a costume. I have seen a lot of that though in addition to even the Halloween races. I do love all the dressing up for the winter holiday runs. It makes it very festive! Oh my, no way for a marathon. I’m not sure I could even do a 5K in a costume. I have seen a lot of that though in addition to even the Halloween races.

The March of Dimes Walk America is now called March for Babies. Costumes are another way to distinguish an event... i.e. the <a href="http://charitymile.com/blog/santa-fun-runs-spread-christmas-cheer-far-and-wide/">Santa runs</a>. I've heard of some crazy costumes especially from participants in the London marathon. Personally I don't know how they do a marathon in costume, a 5K maybe, but not 26.2 miles!

Here's my 2 cents for anyone thinking of starting a new charity athletic event. Plan a charity bike ride. There are TONS of running and walking events to choose from, but not that many events for cyclists. The American Diabetes Association puts on the Tour de Cure bike ride at various location throughout the US. I like that name, reminds me of my favorite pro-cycling events - the Tour de France!
