Congratulations to Margaret Rorrio for her winning fancy dress costume at the Dogfish Dash 5K in Delaware on September 25th, 2011 – organized by Dogfish Head of strange beer fame.
The theme was recycling… so here’s Margaret dressed in a selection of things thrown out of car windows in Connecticut.
“Everything on the costume is authentic,” says Margaret, “I pick it up from running….I ran my worst 5k ever, it was crazy hot and my costume weighed about 10lbs. I wanted to lay down at mile 4 and nap…But my costume took first place and I got the meet the owner of Dogfish…Oh, and Dogfish served free beer for 3hrs on race day;) Yum!”
