Every first weekend of May, many cities in Norway has a Tom Waits Run, that is basically a bar to bar run, some times with added quizzes and other fun add-ons. Is this an occurrence anywhere else as well?

Tom Waits? like the artist? I’m confused.
The name is probably chosen in parody of Grete Waitz
Like the artist, not unknown for liking alcohol. We have lots of annual runs named after famous people, so it is a similarity to the known, but a drinking event rather than a sporty one. Just hit me how weird it might seem, hence I had to ask if it’s a thing elsewhere.
yeah it sounds a little strange to me haha
I didn’t know Norway was such a fan of Waitz
It is most likely solely for the name sake, as the former marathon runner Grete Waitz has had a run called the Grete Waitz Run around the same time every year.
