+1, but this is really your area of expertise, no?

is shark an option?

Shark, duh.

I give this one a fair amount of thought - given my history with shark costumes. I even went so far as to try (in the middle of a Target) modifying a shark costume intended for small dogs into a headpiece.

Sloth, for the irony.

While I like this idea, how does one make a sloth costume? Do I run the 10k clutching plastic 3M hooks and reaching for trees?

black panther! or a black cat. or a cheetah with melanism. something swift and sleek.

It just so happens that I work out in all black attire 99% of the time, so this idea seemed like a natural fit. However, I am not entirely certain there is a single non-racist way for me to do this, you know?

Tortoise.

Classic, but I can’t imagine running a 10k with a shell of any material strapped to my back.

Go full racing greyhound. You already have the number on, so just find a cage-style face mask and find someone dressed as a rabbit to chase.

I particularly like the idea of working the race number into the ensemble, but I’m not sure I can do this without looking like a knockoff Bane…and that would be awkward.

So! I liked the big black cat idea, and it turns out my new-ish running sneakers are black and hot orange - so, tiger it is! Pics tomorrow. :)
