Raines’ commitment to the character extends beyond the costume. He said that during races, including this year’s Boston Marathon, he frequently releases a caveman-esque cry as he passes water stations.
“People go bananas,” he said. “One of the things I love about wearing this getup is that it motivates other runners. It builds this bubble of energy.”
But the costume does have some downsides.
“Yes, even a caveman needs his lube,” Raines said. He had to apply a generous portion of Vaseline in the closing miles of the race. “And I wasn’t shy about it either."
The human bones are his husband's teeth and gums that he had removed for a dental procedure.

Big props to the guy. Doing this at any age is no joke, but finding out the guy is 50 is super motivational.
Edit: For those of you who are not familiar, it’s a HUGE feat to just qualify to run in the Boston Marathon.
