So I am planning to run the Pyongyang Marathon in April, and am soliciting input for potential finish line celebrations. Something along the lines of "gobble gobble." I have a Dennis Rodman jersey, but don't think I want to run the entire marathon in that. I may have a friend hand it to me in the final mile. Any other suggestions are welcome.
Are there any fellow letsrunners making there way to the hermit kingdom for the April marathon?
I say, pull out a big picture or poster of Kim Jong-un and defecate on it....The crowd will simply go wild....
2/10. You won't have a friend there to hand you a Rodman jersey.
Maybe his friend IS Dennis Rodman?
Icky Shuffle remains the all time best end zone celebration, with the possible exception of Terrell Owens autographing the ball.

And then you can drink a margarita while singing a Katy Perry song!!!
In Pyongyang, you don't finish the marathon, it finishes you.

That's mother Russia you're thinking of.
Ah, My bad.
Easy to confuse the two.
Do the Gangnam Style dance in a Dennis Rodman jersey. They hate the westernized South Korean culture. You could do an act of protest or something really profound but you would probably wind up in a labor camp.
Why are you bs ing that you are running this marathon? I wish people would tell the truth more on this forum.

Admittedly I won't be doing any crazy finish line celebrations, but I am indeed running the Pyongyang Marathon - this is the second year it is open to amateur runners.
Though the Rodman jersey idea is possible - my brother is planning to run the 10k, and would be able to meet me in the final mile for the hand-off. It is, however, a Detroit Pistons Rodman jersey, though I may invest in a Bulls one as well.
Don't screw around with gimmicks and clowning out at that race, if you are indeed registered for it. Pyongyang is not Disney World, the race is not a rock n roll event. Be low key and don't show off, be respectful to their culture. You don't want to cause yourself legal problems or get your tour guides in trouble for your antics.
You are stupid to travel to that ish hole
And you are a stupid merkin and should get your balls cut off
Run from the finish line to the plane and get out of there.
Make sure you do not finish first or place overall or in any age group.
Seriously. They want you there to beat you and for your money.
