Mr. Topp and the Big Bad Blog

The marshmallow march

15 Comments/ in Photoblog / by Mr Topp
May 2, 2009

When Nicole (@stimpson) told me a friend of hers was going to be running the marathon in a Stay Puft Marshmallow Man costume, I thought that sounded pretty awesome. I never expected this.

Very, very, very far from the lead, a Marshmallow Man came into view in the distance. It was huge. As it grew closer, it became quite clear that it was being carried by two guys wearing the requisite harnesses. They had already carried it for thirteen miles.

Kudos, Stay Puft. Impressive stuff.

    As a post-script: It appears as though the gentlemen in question were running for charity — if you’re interested, you can help them out by sponsoring their efforts to help Cancer Research UK and Heart UK.

    Whooo! So glad you caught them – they ended up going on without the costume for the second half and finishing up. Such an effort though :D
