Default Masai in the London Marathon

Got chatting to a mate in uni today who spent 6 months out in Tanzania and stayed with 6 Masai warriors while out there. Amazingly, they are coming over here to run in the London Marathon to raise money for a bore-hole. They will be the first people to run in the race without numbers as they will be wearing full traditional costume complete with tyre sandals!

There's a bit about it here

I think it's great, especially as most of them have never travelled anywhere before let alone been to a huge city like London! They have a lot of adjusting to do with regards to our culture including having to wear underwear and not spitting in public lol!
