Jake Stout, a 34-year-old physical therapist from Portland, is the proud new owner of the world record for running 13.1 miles in a freakin’ animal suit. The time? 1 hour, 21 minutes. The getup? A pink bunny suit that the mere sight of would send poor Ralphie Parker into severe depression.
“Quite a few people were yelling, ‘Go Ralphie!,’ and ‘Don’t shoot your eye out.’ So I think they got the idea.”
This is more than likely the fuel the bunny needed to fire his way to the finish line. Stout’s record-breaking moment was 16 seconds ahead of the mark previously held by some dude who ran a half marathon dressed as a sheep.
But the best part of the story might be that Stout borrowed the bunny outfit from Portland Trail Blazers mascot, Blaze the Trail Cat. Obviously. Because when in need of weird shit, phone your local team mascot.
Now for the burning question: What in THE hell is up with the dude in the naughty Mrs. Claus outfit?
