It’s Official: Vampire Race Set Record

In preparation for its annual Harvest Run last October, the Loveland Road Runners Club in Colorado decided to attempt a new world record for the largest gathering of people dressed as vampires. Since there was no previous record, it was merely a matter of defining the rules, following all the proper procedures, and filling out the paperwork. And now, four months later, it’s official. Guinness World Records recognizes the 354 people who participated as the largest gathering of vampires ever.

Dressing as a vampire is a little but more involved than dressing as a gorilla, Santa or a sumo wrestler. To be counted as vampires, “Women wore black and red dresses, black heels, fangs, dark eye makeup and red lipstick, while the men showed up in capes, fangs, black pants, white shirts, vests, neckties or frills.”
