1200 TRADERS TO TROT WALL STREET IN `RAT RACE'

NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) -- Wall Street stock brokers are really getting caught up in the rat race. As part of a May 25 charity "fun-run" called the Rat Race, as many as 1200 brokers are expected to dress up in rat costumes and run through the well-know financial district. Those who don't dress like furry rats usually wear old suits and carry briefcases for the 2.5 mile run, which passes by the New York Stock Exchange. A spokesperson says the point of the event is to help folks caught up in the real rat race of Wall Street to blow off steam and raise money for charity.
