The 2008 Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon saw a plethora of running Elvi streak the course… And 2009 will be no different! This year, we are looking for even more energetic, enthusiastic runners to cross the marathon finish line—in full Running Elvi regalia.

Any question about proper attire comes down to a simple phrase stated by one of the original Running Elvi, Bob Babbitt: “No wig, no glasses, no outfit… Not a Running Elvi!”

Interested in Joining in the Running Elvi Fun?

Awesome! We'd be glad to have you join the fun. Directions are as follows:

1. Make sure you’re registered for the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon, for only registered participants are allowed on the USATF-sanctioned course.
2. Complete the application below.
3. Once your application is received, you will be sent a confirmation email.
4. And then, you’re in! So start brainstorming that Running Elvi costume, and warming up your swivel hips.

This year, we will be giving a selection of awards to the Running Elvi that best personify the following categories:

• “Best Dressed” King
• “Best Dressed” Queen
• “The King” (awarded to the participant who best embodies the true King of Rock ‘n’ Roll spirit)
• “Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich” (awarded to the participant who best indulges in the spotlight)
• “Blue Suede Shoes” (awarded to the participant with the snazziest dancing moves)
• “Jail House Rock” (awarded to the Running Elvi who rocks out the hardest to Elvis’ jams)

In order to be considered for the awards, participants must be present at the Expo on Saturday, May 30 at 3:45 pm in the lobby of Hall C  for the Fashion Parade.

After the parade, head to the Running Elvi Pasta Dinner at the House of Blues.

Winners will be announced at the Running Elvi Pasta Party at the House of Blues.
