Unless you knew to look for bib number 173, former Texas congressman Beto O’Rourke was easy to miss among the crowd of 141 runners this past weekend in North Liberty, Iowa, a suburb of Iowa City.
O’Rourke donned a low-key look consisting of a white cap, shorts over black tights, and running shoes as he kicked off his Saturday with a St. Patrick’s-themed 5K while campaigning in the Hawkeye State. He finished in 24:29, good enough to place third in his age group (40-49).
The 5K came just two days after another race announcement: On Thursday, O’Rourke posted a video on Twitter sharing that he will be entering the 2020 presidential race.

“Warren” BETO
Who did he fantasize about running over this time?
This guys worse than Jimmah Carter.
5K is nothing. Old ladies (me) run 5Ks. Pathetic
Beta is just plain strange.

Well, at least it’s not a dress this time.
To much co2 in the air, he shouldn’t be

That’s funny, right there!
I’ll have to remember it.

Is that Napolean Dynamite?
Beta is so weird
I agree, Mercat.
On a chilly day, I can run a 5K in 23 minutes and not even break a sweat.
Beto is 46.
I'm 70 years old (but 100% little boy!).
Sorry - some of us non-drinkers need the joke explained.
Jameson is a famous distiller of Irish whiskey.
“Beto” Robert O’Rourke is a fake Hispanic whose heritage is actually Irish.
Tequila is about as Irish as Beto is Mexican.
