The Tom Waits Run
Tom Waits-løpet (Eng. the Tom Waits Run), is a traditional Oslo, Norway pub crawl. It is held every spring at the beginning of May. The first known run was held in 1999. Traditionally, the run was held on the same date as the "Grete Waitz Run", a fun run for women only. Since the Grete Waitz run was discontinued, the Tom Waits Run has been held on the same day as the world's largest road relay, Holmenkollstafetten.

Famous quotes containing the words waits and/or run:
“A deep man believes in miracles, waits for them, believes in magic, believes that the orator will decompose his adversary; believes that the evil eye can wither, that the heart’s blessing can heal; that love can exalt talent; can overcome all odds.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“It is very rare that you meet with obstacles in this world which the humblest man has not faculties to surmount. It is true we may come to a perpendicular precipice, but we need not jump off, nor run our heads against it. A man may jump down his own cellar stairs, or dash his brains out against his chimney, if he is mad.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
