Every first weekend of May, many cities in Norway has a Tom Waits Run, that is basically a bar to bar run, some times with added quizzes and other fun add-ons. Is this an occurrence anywhere else as well?

    Like the artist, not unknown for liking alcohol. We have lots of annual runs named after famous people, so it is a similarity to the known, but a drinking event rather than a sporty one. Just hit me how weird it might seem, hence I had to ask if it’s a thing elsewhere.

        It is most likely solely for the name sake, as the former marathon runner Grete Waitz has had a run called the Grete Waitz Run around the same time every year.
