Well, this year's spectacle is over!!! I finely actually did this run. Laughed the entire run as it was sooo cold and breezy!!! (Temp 24 degrees Fahrenheit with a breeze of 10-15 mph)

It was more fun than I thought it would be. I had even considered not doing it, but with all the donations I received, I had to go through with it, and I'm glad I did.
The starting point "Lir" pub was packed!!!! Almost fully naked bodies rubbing against one another!!!

Hysterical!!! Some of the outfits and costumes where a real hoot!!! One such costume/float ( if you can call it that!) was 4 guys with red speedos and white trim as reindeer, pulling a sled of 3 girls in red bikini's! :D At each intersection, the mass of speedo clad humanity would stop, job up and down, scream, sing, whatever, than begin again to the next stop.
The sidewalks where lined with spectators clicking away with cameras and videos, while laughing, smiling and cheering us on!!! The media was also everywhere with TV crews filming for the evening news!!!.
At the finish line, everyone filed back into the pub as if they were at the beach. None bothered to get dressed and just hung out in their speedos and bikinis, etc., sharing their stories with friends and strangers alike.
Will I do it again next year? Hell Yea!!!! I just need to recruit mo re crazy souls!!!
At last count,there was 492 brave, nutty souls, raising almost $140k for the charity " Cradle to Crayons."
Here are some photos of this years run!
