Sausage Fest Fun Run Recap

Declan's Daughter Loving Sausage Fest
Last night was the First Annual Charity Fun Run and Sausage Fest (aka "Wurst Fest") which took place at Anne's. I arrived there around 6:30pm, just in time to help lead the fun run. I stupidly wore my wool IceBreaker shirt, which although it has the advantage of being odor-free, it has the disadvantage of getting super sweaty looking super fast. Needless to say, it looked like I had stood under a sprinkler when I got back from the run. Luckily, I changed into my Chicago Brauhaus t-shirt shortly after our return.

Here is the awesome 3.1 mile sausage course laid out by Maggie:

I helped Bob and Maggie lead the sausage runners, and I also acted as the official sausage photographer. Suffice it to say there were lots of Chicago Running Bloggers in the group, and a fun time was had by all (except when I heard a few grumbles when I led the group over the grass in Welles Park)!

Here are the pictures. Instead of spending time tagging everyone, I will just do a photo dump for other bloggers to borrow and then they can tag as they want!

Oh yeah, there were butt shots:

 After about 30 minutes, we arrived back at the party to find Sausage Fest in full swing:

A fabulous time was had by all. Looking forward to the next sausage get-together!
