"Excerpt: Sporting a long red curly wig and a massive decolletage
enhanced with the aid of a bra stuffed with football socks, Ciaran
(38), from Raheny, Dublin, joked that he is starting to like dressing
up as a woman in order to take part in the run, billed as the largest
all-female sporting event in the world.

"It's a bit too comfortable," he said as fellow runners Neil Hoefig
(27), from Limerick, dressed in a floral halter dress, and Raheny
native Taidhg Toomey (33), in a flashy red number, exchanged knowing
glances.

The cross-dressing trio were among dozens of men who donned wigs and
dresses to lend their support."
