11th Annual Gorilla Run!
Photos by Wide Angle Photography and others
The Edmonton Gorilla Run is a family event made up of a 1K Little Gorilla Run, 5K and 10K Walk / Run. It is a hilarious sight to see as hundreds of gorillas make their way through Edmonton's river valley wearing a gorilla suit with some dressing up their costume to participate in the "Gorilla Costume Contest".
