Fancy Dress

Check out any photographs or video from Bacchus and you will notice that a large portion of the field turn out in fancy dress. Over the years running as a bunch of grapes, Darth Vader or a selection of Superheroes has become synonymous with the race. 

Some are extravagant creations others are DIY efforts that make it all the way to the finish. We love a wine theme, or a pun but we also love it when a group of friends or a clubmates have coordinated their outfits. We welcome, encourage and celebrate them all. Fancy dress has become a big part of the event and is very much in keeping with the 'Fun Run' spirit of Bacchus. We don't award prizes for the fastest finishers, all our awards - which are more wine - are for those who take on the fancy dress challenge. 

But don't worry if dressing up fills your heart with dread. It is not a compulsory. If you are more comfortable coming as a 'runner', great, you'll still probably be in the majority. But for those of you up love to dress up, here is some inspiration from past editions of the race. 

Here is just a few of our favourites from over the years!!
