Costume Ideas and More in This Preview of the May the Force Be with You 5K [VIDEO]

We're only days away from the Star Wars themed May the Course Be with You 5K! Take the experience to the next level with a costume, I have a few ideas!

Sure, when it comes to Star Wars costumes, characters like C-3PO, Chewbacca and R2D2 come to mind, among others. But, how will some of those costumes translate in a race setting? There are some differences.

Greg's Stars Wars costume options for this race:

• C-3PO: The metal costume may be entirely too awkward to maneuver through a race course
• Chewbacca: This could really work, as the costume would be very warm on a chilly morning. However, my Chewbacca cry sounds more like a wounded puppy.
• R2D2: You may think this is bad option. What if this costume was equipped with a motor and wheels. Not just a regular motor, I'm talking TURBO CHARGED!! Yeah, watch me fly by everyone. Is this breaking the rules?

Take a look below at my preview to the May the Course Be with You 5K, along with a comparison to other theme races.

Come join us Saturday morning for the race at Griffin Farms Pumpkin Patch in West Blocton, Alabama. Registration at 8 a.m. and the race at 9 a.m.
