Possibly the Most Revealing NYC Marathon Outfit Ever

2008_11_maraborat.jpgWhile many runners tend to wear body-skimming outfits to increase their running performance, we're amazed/impressed with one runner's outift: A Borat-style neon green bathing suit. arvindgrover took this photograph in which you can clearly make out his bib number. Based on that, it appears the runner is 27-year-old Jack Markham of Great Britain, who finished with a time of 4:33:29. And for the truly brave, Flickr user Lori (ldp1109) says she saw Markham many times because he was running near her brother--she has more photographs with front and back views.

Should have been arrested for indecent exposure.

How nice for all the families with kids coming out to watch the race.

You know that dude isn't going to the bathroom without severe pain any time soon. Moron.

Unfortunately, I saw him... I'll have nightmares for a couple of weeks, I guess...

Oh man, I post 99 pictures of the marathon and this is the one I get love for! Oh well, I guess it was quite the spectacle. Apparently lots of people captured him too. Rest of my marathon set is here.

Now you just KNOW there's gonna be a mighty skidmark on them suspenders-thing.

I just had a phone cam as he ran through Greenpoint yesterday, but I uploaded it to Flickr as well, 2 runners he passed were looking at him like, "wha...?"

Yeah, it was hard to miss Borat. I've got a few of him as well:

I thought that was pretty hardcore and very funny, especially since most of the other runners has teched out running gear on. That's a really respectable time as well.

Maybe he wore that so people wouldn't notice the ridiculous mullett he was wearing! Today he knows the meaning of chafing.

my eyes are burning. no more, please!

his butt is flat and he should have at least wax the front. blah

It's one small step for a showboating douchebag, and one giant leap for the Borat Mankini.

Too bad he didn't take a fall and scrape his meats.

It's pathetic, his being so desperate for atention. It's a shame race organizers didn't have the sense to pull his hairy ass off the course. The race is for everone, runners and spectators. Little kids shouldn't have to see that. Ass-hat.

What is it about the British when they come here?!? First Richard Quest was arrested with a rope around his neck that was tied to his genitals and meth in his pocket, now this guy.

Richard Quest is back on CNN! ...from London. (Hampstead Heath, anyone?)
