If you are lucky enough to be living it up in Vancouver this summer, lululemon founder Chip Wilson is hosting the first annual “Chip’s Not Dead Yet Memorial Mile“. Given Chip’s peculiar nature, I’d expect no less than for this to be a charity run of epicly weird proportions.
Serious runners can race for cash prizes - and those out to have some fun can partake in “theme waves”. If you show up wearing a bridesmaid or wedding dress you can win a trip to the Bahamas. Run in your undies and win beer for a year. Participants sprinting in the nude, wearing superhero costumes, or even with their pet iguana on their shoulder can win prizes.
Basically, this is like a really fast moving gay pride parade. I wonder which event will have more lycra?

Thanks for the tip! I am so going to be there with a horrible dress on. When will I ever wear THAT thing again!
Guys this is going to be seriously INSANE!! I cannot wait. I hope the turnout is huge - and that my boyfriend doesn’t actually run naked like he is planning to. Eeeeeeeeeeeeee. See you there!
