Snuggie Marathon
I think it would be visually funny for there to be a marathon or perhaps a 5k race, where all participants wear Snuggies. Until the world gets hip enough for that, we’ll have to settle for the random Snuggie Sighting in the crowd, such as this potential Snuggie Sighting
If this is a Snuggie, the wearer is sporting it backwards and they have it cinched up. A Snuggie, when left to its own devices, will hang down on the ground, making it all the better to run a marathon in.
Here’s a note from KC, who submitted this pic:
‘My first public Snuggie Sighting happened today at the Towpath Marathon in Peninsula Ohio. This spectator had it on backwards and all pulled up. Couldn’t believe my eyes. I whipped out my camera as quick as I could to take a pic. She stayed nice in warm in her Snuggie as it was in the 40’s today.’
So – what do you think? Snuggie or Robe?
I promise this is a snuggie! She originally had it on the “right” way and all the way down to the ground but I couldn’t get my camera out fast enough. By the time I did get it out, she had turned it around and hiked it up. Hoping to see more snuggies at more races. As a runner myself, I am totally down for a 5k race in a snuggie, altered just a bit of course, as they are long and we wouldn’t get to far if we were stepping on them. Thanks for posting!

Thanks for sending the pic. There’s something special about the true Snuggie candids, and I’m taking your word on it. I think the helpers along the race course should wear Snuggies and it would also shield them against splash-back, bio-hazards, etc. Good job getting the pic.
