Frostbite Footrace has cold audience

Monday, 03 Mar, 2011 0

Thousands of heavily-clothed spectators in 10 degree F weather watched as runners competed in the annual Frostbite Footrace with competitors dressed as pink flamingos, kittens, bears and pink poodles.
 

There was even some rock band Kiss look-alikes for the Anchorage, Alaska contest. They were competitors in the costume category.
 

“Some entrants were in it with serious competition in mind, others for the T-shirt and fun of it, the Anchorage Daily News reported,” said wire services.
 

The first-place single costume prize went to an Anchorage woman costumed as "Frosty Cupcake Girl."
