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.

with large stones and sewed him up.

and when he woke up and tried to run off
he fell over dead. Killed by his own weight.
Many a deception ends on such a note.”
