You’ll need to be ready to run in the rain today, and against a breezy north wind. Rain is expected on a West Coast race today.

The centipede first arrived in 1978 as just that: a makeshift centipede costume of black plastic, cheap wire antennae and foam balls linking 13 athletes from the Cal Aggies Track Club at UC Davis. They ran at six-minute mile pace, finished in the top 100 and sparked a trend that would soon see surgeon runners dress as vertebrae, naked joggers unite with nothing but string and one team carry a stuffed lobster aloft for all 12 kilometers.
