Star Wars theme for capital race...

[My Name is Darth Vader...]

A popular 10km road race in Edinburgh has been launched this year with a new Star Wars theme in a bid to attract a record number of participants.

Organisers hope runners will dress as their favourite character


Organisers of the Bupa Great Edinburgh Run on Sunday 4 May with the motto "May the fourth be with you" want runners to dress up as Star Wars characters.

"The Star Wars theme was what the previous event manager came up with because he is a Star Wars fan and we thought why not give it a go because we can see how many characters from the cast turns up."

I really don't think a lot of people are going to show up in costume...its hard to run in full costume.

Well, I read about a guy in the 501st who ran a whole marathon in his full stormtrooper armor, and came in like 10^th
