The 15 Craziest Costumes at the London Marathon

The 2014 London Marathon is about a fortnight away. Not only is the London Marathon one of the largest of its kind across the world, it also attracts a whole bevy of participants who come dressed up in the craziest of costumes, either for a cause or just for the heck of it. Here are some of the wackiest ones from last year's race
