I encountered that devil-costume runner when I ran MCM in 2007. I passed him early in the race and had Van Halen’s “Runnin’ With the Devil” stuck in my head for the rest of the day.

DrB, just for the record it wasn’t that cold. I ran it in shorts and a tshirt. And your brother in the royal marines is probably gay if he wears a dress.

So much to say about this article…

1) The marines in Halo are supposed to be descendents of the USMC. The Space Marines are something else completely, from Games Workshop.

2) That’s a kilt that guy is wearing. My brother serves in the Royal Marines and is allowed to wear a kilt due to being Scottish. He reckons your dress blues make you look like toy soldiers, so don’t knock kilts til’ you’ve tried them

3) mas0622 – You’re honestly trying to chew a guy out for having his hands in his pockets on a cold day?

Just throwing this out there…Master Chief…as in Master Chief Petty Officer. Next to 100% sure that’s a navy rank. Don’t take my work on that though, I just read it on one of them enlisted rank structure posters…

That is definitely the character “Master Chief” from Halo who is a marine on the game.
