In what can only be described as a questionable life decision, I’ve decided that if I can raise $500 for the Humane Society of Jefferson County, I will run the entire 5K dressed as a hot dog. Yes, an actual hot dog. Fully committed. No dignity left behind. Probably no PRs to be had.
Why? Because animals deserve good homes, and apparently the most logical way for me to contribute to that mission is by publicly humiliating myself while jogging 3.1 miles dressed like what most dogs think of as a treat. Will I get chased by dogs? Maybe.
If you’ve ever wanted to witness a grown adult voluntarily turn themselves into a running concession stand for charity, now is your moment. Donate, share, and help me relish this poor decision for a good cause.
The animals win.
You get a laugh.
And I get to explain to strangers why I’m sweating inside a giant bun.
Do you want to run in a bun, too? Create your own bun run, and join me!
