That’s a REAL Drag Race

October 30, 2009

Each year, on the Tuesday before Halloween, hundreds of people congregate at Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C. for the DC Drag Queen Race.  First held in 1985, spectators and participants arrive around 6:00 pm and drag queens model elaborate costumes.  Then, at 9:00 pm, the “ladies” hold a foot race down “The Runway,” which lasts about one minute.  Click here for photos from past races. 


There are some races that happen on wheels
And walks for our charitable ideals
The Halloween season
Gives these “ladies” reason
To learn that it’s a “drag” to run in heels
