Some folks call our outfits "Long Johns."
Or just plain ole "Underwear"
Others say, "Union Suits."
And still others, "Long Handles."
No Sir-eee, Dang-it!
It's our Hillbilly Tuxedos!

Long John Runs, 5K, 10K, or Just Around the Block!
Seems about every autumn Long John Runs are organized and publicized for various fund-raisers across the country. From Battle Creek to Seattle, from Foxboro to Kalamazoo guys run long stretches in their Union Suits to raise money for numerous good causes!
Here are some fellows enjoying outdoor exercise while raising cash in their long underwear. How about you?
Take Your Coffee, Take Your Kid.... But Get Out and Move Those Bones.
GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. - It's a run that encourages you to show off your Long Johns! The 6th Annual Long John Run benefiting Mel Trotter Ministries. John van der Veen provides the fun details.
"The
Long John Run was created to help raise money for those who are in
great need here in the Grand Rapids area. Proceeds from our events
will be donated to local missions/ministries/organizations. In
addition, we are collecting socks for the homeless. Yep - socks,"
he explained. It's
happening next month, November 10th,
at Christ Church on Breton Avenue.
