Drug Runners to Unveil Uniform on Saturday

After an extensive training period in anonymity, the Drug Runners will make their presence known in full force this Saturday at the Tampa Bay Lightning Reindeer Run. As many as 6 members will don the new blue and yellow shirts, each with their own personalized number.

"There are several reasons for the uniforms," said designer and member Jeff Andreoli. "One, we wanted to bring a sense of 'team' to our group of diehard runners. Two, since each person has their own number, you'll be able to check the program to see who just smoked your [expletive] in the race."

The yellow lettering, or "highlighter," as referred to by Andreoli, will allow team members to stand out in the crowd, and also make it easier to find each other before the race.

So if you're at the race this weekend, be sure to get out of the way if you hear or see a Drug Runner bearing down on you. They're some mean beasts, and who knows what kind of medication they've got running through their system.

Number 33 Jim Nunamaker is the early favorite to lead the pack, with a predicted time of 21 minutes and change.
