Best Halloween costumes for runners

Halloween is right around the corner. It’s a well-known fact that runners like the dress up to race. The running community is not a group of people that’s about to let Halloween slide by without coming up with an impressive costume. You don’t have much time left to come up with an idea so we helped you out. Many of these are famous outfits worn to set a Guinness World Record.

1. A runner peacock

Bonus if you can find a way to make this costume look like Road Runner.

2. A beer bottle clad in running gear

Why? Because it’s suitable at a party, you can run in it, and the fastest beer bottle runner is a famous Guinness World Record.

3. Runaway Bride

Your feet will be comfy for a whole night of partying and you won’t have to bring extra shoes for the run home.

4. Spiderman

If you don’t want your movement restricted, just get a Spiderman morph suit.

5. Paulie Bleeker

You can easily run to and from the party and everyone will know who you are.

6. This really fast chicken

Leave it to London Marathon runners to come up with the wackiest outfits and prove that yes, you can actually run in this one.
