What people wear during a marathon has always been an interest of mine both from a performance standpoint and because I, like everyone else, enjoys to be entertained. Each year in NYC, we anxiously wait for both Larry the Lighthouse, who runs the entire marathon as a ten foot lighthouse promoting the NJ Marathon, and Mr. Testicles, who runs as a pair of testicles to promote awareness of testicular cancer. In both of these cases, these runners are, well, racing with purpose – promoting the cause or event most important to them.
On Sunday, this guy was the person most referenced after the race. What his purpose is, I have no idea, but I am open to suggestions.
