Debauchery. For 9am, there was a lot of it going on. Laughter. Dancing. Drinking. And, of course, running. This was my first time to go to the run. No...I did not run. I quietly photographed all the festivities about me. A sea of green. A sea of green tutus. I have never...never...seen so many tutus in one place. And all green. Green hats, shirts, shoes, pants, skin.
A huge turnout. Over 13,000 runners, and 50 states represented. Mind boggling for our little Pensacola.

| It started with the McGuire's Pipe Band |
 |
| It was sprinkled with green tutus and a variety of green knee socks. |
 |
| Green hats... |
 |
| Green wings... |
 |
| Green ties and boas... |
 |
| Fancy glittery face clovers... |
 |
| More tutus... |
 |
| And more tutus.... |
 |
| The McGuire's Bus...I wish I could of been on top to take some pictures! |
 |
| These fellows shot the cannon and almost gave me a heart attack...I was right across the street from them! |
 |
| Much stretching.... |
 |
| Mmm...green tutus.... |
 |
| Glam in a Swiss Miss-Bar Maid kinda way. |
 |
| Lots of green hair. |
 |
| Green cowboy hat, and the regulation green tutu. |
 |
| Love the band. Love the kilts. |
 |
| Yes. I love the kilts. |
 |
| And I love the bagpipes. |
 |
| On your mark...get set...GO!!!! |
 |
| And it's on... |
 |
| Here come the runners! |
 |
| With green headbands and earrings. |
 |
| Green Eltonish glasses. |
 |
| And still more tutus. |
 |
| Some sort of duct taped tin barrel. Revelance? I don't know. |
 |
| Even the Irish-Mexicans were running. |
 |
| Some sort of hillbilly theme. |
 |
| Nice ties... |
 |
| Creepy green man |
 |
| I LOVE the Military guys...and there were LOTS of them!!! |
 |
| Such a balanced, rhythmic flow to their run. |
 |
| And they brought up the end. |
 |
| See this ladies hand? She lifted her man's kilt to reveal the next shot... |
 |
| I was laughing so hard. |

I was amazed by the number of runners. Looks like everyone had fun. So, what's with the tutus?
