Competitors
wearing little but their underwear laugh as they briefly strike an
'Ironman' pose during a break for stretching during the ninth annual
Underpants Run, Thursday, Oct. 13, 2005, in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. About 100
men, women and children ran in the mile-long event, which crossed paths
with the start and finish areas of the considerably more serious Ironman
competition, which will be held Saturday. The Underpants Run, originally
begun to poke fun at
Speedo-wearing Ironman competitors, is now a fundraiser
for a local charity.
