A month from now there is a 5-mile race with a Halloween theme. It’s in Oakland, Ca and it’s called HELLA-WEEN 5 Miler.
For those of you unfamiliar with California lingo, it is state-wide knowledge that northern California says “hella” and southern California says “hecka.” That is your California history lesson and why I think this race is going to be pretty cool.

October 27, 2012
Oakland, CA
$40 before October 20
Includes Reflective Shirt — with a cool design.
It’s the inaugural year and it’s less than a month away. I clearly need help in what to wear. You already know that I love racing in costume.
Exhibit A: Michael Jackson in San Jose
Exhibit B: Hulk in Oakland
Exhibit C: Easter Bunny in San Francisco
This is also the 25th year anniversary (Too Legit: Celebrating 25 years of MC Hammer) since Oakland native MC Hammer released his first mainstream album (87). Hammer has been associated and stayed loyal to Oakland for a very long time. From working with the Oakland Athletics at 15 to shooting some of his first videos there. He actually had a bobblehead day last year at an A’s game. Pretty cool, huh. He definitely deserves a shout out in the costume competition.

Hilarious! Batman or the pirate get my vote. Oh and I can’t believe we’ve been listening to Too Legit for 25 years. That makes me laugh too :)
Obviously, you’ve got to do Hammer! Plus, you can throw out the 2 Legit hand signals for the whole race!
bahaahhaha these are ALLLLLL great !!! MC Hammar was a pretty great one… or Woody but then you have to run the whole thing like the toy. Which would be awesome.
Hammer!
um MC hammer all the way. Mainly because i want to see how far you can actually run before tripping in those pants. LOL
Haha! Love the mickey mouse!!! And thanks for the song!!! Woot Woot!!! :)
ok seriously! how did you put that amazing photo viewer thing in the post!?!?
Thank you for the early morning laugh. MC Hammer. Yup.
Haha… I needed that laugh this morning. :) Loved Hammer, or Mickey Mouse, you were having way too much fun putting this together!
MC hammer yo. No ifs and or butts :)
ahahahhahha! I like the Hulk.
Now I can pretend I’m from California with the hell and heck info! This will come in handy when I run CIM.
I’m voting for Michael Jackson!
The king crab would be interesting to see you run in but, I’m going with MC Hammer.
Hammer is my vote, Mickey is little B’s vote :)
haha well you know what I say, anything Disney! Mickey or woody would be hilarious.
MC Hammer is awesome. I’d go for batman as runner up. Have a super fun time – that’s a given, right?
Hammer!! How fun would it be to feel the wind in those pants ;)
King CRAB! hahaha I love them all!
My vote is for Woody or Pirate. Not that you don’t make a fantastic MC Hammer. Because you do. Really.
Clearly MC Hammer. Obvious choice. And thank you for my new song! Yipee! Great way to start the weekend.
I vote for king crab! :-)
MC Hammer…hands down! :)
Normally, I would say Batman, but it clearly MC Hammer is the choice!
Well, if not a Frapp barista, the. I’d go with Elf :-)
Either MC Hammer or Batman. :)
I love ELF! You can be singing in a run and your SINGING!!! Or Hammer… but you HAVE to dance!
Def wanna see you reppin’ my boy Hammer… although you made a very good Captain Jack Sparrow (i think that’s his name.)
Clearly, Hammer Time.
Hammer. No contest!
It seems I’m in the minority here, but I gotta vote for Elf! I like it because it’s Christmasy even though it’s a Halloween race, so it’s kind of unexpected.
Honestly, every time I clicked next I wanted that one. It’s astounding how you can do that. I like Elf too because I think it’s super original. But MC Hammer can’t be a bad choice either. :)
Mickey Mouse. Definitely Mickey Mouse. Love it!!
King Crab get’s my vote with Woody as a close second. Hilarious.
The hammer or the crab
Lots of choices! I like the king crab, haha
Well I am a Mickey Mouse fan but that would be too obvious… if you can run in those MC Hammer pants, go for it!
Ha, this made me laugh! I vote for Hammer. It just seems appropriate on the 25th anniversary.
all I can think is I MAY BE THERE NEXT YEAR!!
HAHAHAHAHA…best post today =)
I vote for Batman!! =)
King crab!!!
Unless the pirate costume comes with a wooden leg. Then peg-legged pirate and post the race photos!
MC Hammer for sure…
