running with FirefoxEvery year in Tours, France  by the end of September we have a very popular running race (10 and 20 kms) in the downtown center. It is a kind of festive occasion with music and disguise, and serious athlete competitors are there, looking for performance, along with amateur joggers, just having fun together during a little effort. School boys and girls also take part (with more adapted distances).
All in all, more than 13 000 runners were running under a bright sun on September 27th.

As it is an occasion for every kind of company to sponsor runners with t-shirts, why not promote our favourite Open Source browser?

Thanks to Mozilla, 20 runners were proudly showing their love for  Firefox 3.5 on t-shirts.

Here is young Miss Firefox, for her first time on the race, with ehm veterans...

Hey, I am sure you have local events where you can promote Firefox for a mainstream audience. Tell us about local actions!

Go, Mozilla, Go!
