Once the elite runners have crossed the finish line at the Boston Marathon, it's time for the rest of the field to have their moment in the sun, and enjoy a little fun.

The video embedded above captures today's scene on Boylston Street, which included everyone from the US Army to the Solo Cup guys.

Glen Raines, from San Diego ran the race as a caveman... barefoot. "It was awesome, I felt so good the entire time," Raines said after he finished. "It was the best race, worked the crowds, the crowds in Boston are amazing."

Jeff Bennett, from Coppell, Texas ran the race in a gorilla suit. "It was a good day for it," he said after he crossed the finish line. "A little bit of wind out there kept me cool."

Firefighter James Gefke, from Milwaukee, Wis., ran the race in his work gear and joined a host of enthusiastic finishers. "I felt pretty good until 22 [miles], starting losing fluids," he said. "Mentally and [my] cardiovascular I feel great, but my legs started locking up."

Richard Webster, from Boston, ran the marathon dressed as Robin. He said Batman was "a slacker" that took the day off.
