I guess I just love challenges in general, especially if they give cool t-shirts as prizes. @Adam, you should check out the Muddy Buddy Ride & Run series - it's held in 13 cities across the US.

See, it really is amazing how much running can say about a location and a culture! Who doesn't want to beat Beethoven now?!?! That’s awesome.

Fondue, hot chocolate and people running around giving away candy after the race. Ridiculous. There was a Hot Chocolate 5k in Chicago a few weeks ago.

I'd love to give the red dress one a run for its money! The strangest 5k I ever ran in was the Black Rock City 5k, which is held annually at Burning Man. In the spirit of Burning Man, many of the participants are dressed in crazy clothes, and of course there are no water stations or porta potties along the route. It's just out into the desert and back. Great list! I’d love to give the red dress one a run for its money!

Just when you think there's nothing new under the sun.... The Beethoven’s my favorite, too, but the whole concept of this weirdness, which I had no idea existed, has really brightened my day.

That would be so intense, racing along to a symphony, kind of like having a soundtrack. Krispy Kreme while running? Noooo, thanks. :) LOVE the Beethoven idea!!
