Many people run marathons in costumes(sometimes as part of a group), and some are actually pretty good runners.

Like I said, he can probably run faster and longer than any of you could dream about.

the man is on a mission! (unlike everyone else in the photo who are just milling around letting life pass them by)

Agree with Paulinusa.
That is quiet a bit of extra weight and encumbrance added there. Either way if he is having fun.

He even has a chimpira chaperone to clear the streets for him, he must be important.

I agree. The person like him give me a big smile of the day. Let's enjoy have a fun with him. This was a national night news in USA. We loved it!!

Now this man look like a real buffoon. What's the betting he's got some "hilarious" giant glasses at home?

Whats the point? Just to have fun? Can think of a million better ways to have fun and not look like a total dork.

That seems like too much equipment. Four iPhones? Seems like it would be pretty difficult to text and run. Anyway, it's pretty imaginative!

Well, just to add a sober note, he is running to raise money for a childrens' cancer hospital in Tokyo. Good luck to the guy.
