Great Gorilla Run 2007

A couple weeks ago I headed to Golden Gate Park in San Francisco to witness the 1st ever Great Gorilla Run in America. This is an event sponsored by the Gorilla Organization which is a charity working to protect the survival of gorillas in their natural environment. This wacky 7K run started back in 2003 in the UK and is slowly starting to gain popularity across the world. The cost is $100 to register, but you get to keep the gorilla suit and the money goes to a good cause. Unfortunately I missed the registration deadline, but luckily I was able watch all the craziness in person. As you can see from the pictures, people really got into it. Hopefully it'll be back again next year.









Check out the slideshow for more pictures from the day.

Here's a quick video I got of the action.
