What are you wearing this weekend? Five years running

It's hard to believe, but the Mardi Gras marathon has been owned by Rock 'n Roll for a full five years now. And I've run them all - three fulls, two halves.

I thought it was cute that RnR rewarded that with a T-shirt and a special race number.

All 5-year runners got one of these rather nice T's - a play on the iconic New Orleans water meter covers!


Hats off to RnR for doing something right and playing to the locals a little. Thanks!

    That is cool and way to go RNR! Shocking really. Mostly wearing yoga clothes, running clothes and jeans this weekend. The weather is nasty and I have lots of exercise and school to catch up on.

      It certainly shocked me! I usually think RnR is a poor host and they generally trash our city, then leave. I went to the track the day after the race this year - my practice track is where they hold the finish fest. It was completely filthy. They had packed up and left trash everywhere.

    Nice colour. Well done on getting to five years. I wonder what they'll do for ten.

    I'm impressed at RnR for stepping it up with that shirt...as most do, I feel VERY blah about their events. That's cute, though. And, full disclosure - I gave into peer pressure and am totally running RnR DC in March. Can't wait for the shitty beer at the end!

    oh that's a cool shirt, I'm impressed they did that. I think they are organized, but sometimes wonder how much they care about the individual runner.
