Today the kids and I went down to Victoria Park to watch Alex race the
Gorilla Run. The Gorilla Run is a 5K race where every contestant is given a Gorilla costume to keep with their race entry fees ($100 per adult, $50 per child). The purpose of the race is to raise money for Gorilla conservation, and you are allowed to run, walk, or bike (as long as you wear your Gorilla outfit the whole time.) It is great that there is a race like this that kids can do with their parents as well.
Some of the runners do take the race pretty seriously, though times are not nearly as fast as no outfit races. Alex said the suits were very hot too, though he felt they had surprisingly good breath ability. Alex got 5th, so it was a good day for him.
Unfortunately we missed the start of the race, which I think would have been awesome to see, but we did catch the finish.
