'He might be at the finish line!'

Don’t call her a runaway bride.

During the Brooklyn Half Marathon last Saturday, a participant caught the attention of many as she ran in a wedding dress. However, unlike the movie scene with Julia Roberts, she was not fleeing from a wedding ceremony.

Conversely, Tess Tregellas was on the hunt for a man to say “I do.”

“My husband might be at the finish line,” the 28-year-old Brooklynite blushed in a video captured before the event began.

Tregellas told The Post after the race that she didn’t happen upon a hubby while wearing white, saying the stunt may have spooked off suitors.

“No proposals from any man. Honestly, I think I scare men away,” she quipped. “But women love it and that’s really what it’s for — to encourage women that you can be a bride any day of your life!”

In the meantime, Tregellas, who is a comedian, did manage to bring a whole lot of love to the half marathon.

“I had a sign on my butt that said ‘Just hopeful’ to play on the ‘Just married’ trope on the back of a car after a wedding,” she stated. “A lot of people asked to take my picture, which I loved because I felt like a celebrity. It also opens up a lot of conversation and you get to know the people who are running alongside you.”

Tregellas’ time was 2:33:44, but said she wasn’t watching the clock during Saturday’s half marathon,

“I was really just doing it for the vibes,” she stated. “I love race day energy and while I do enjoy running, I prefer running in a wedding dress.”

Indeed, this isn’t the first time the comedian has run the Brooklyn Half in the gown. She pulled off the same stunt last year, sharing snaps with her 203,000 Instagram followers.

“I’m a comedian and I started doing this wedding dress bit about two years ago when I ran down [Manhattan’s] West Side Highway in a wedding dress chasing the shirtless hot men running,” she revealed.

“No dates, but I got a lot of laughs — and as a comedian that’s the goal. It was also just so much fun!”

Next month, Tregellas is taking to the stage to discuss her dating misadventures in a solo show titled “EPIC,” to be held at the Slipper Room on Manhattan’s Lower East Sode.

“It’s about a hopeless romantic looking for something epic in a world of casual dating,” she explained.

“Dating can be so tough in New York, especially as a comedian. I was trying to be whatever I thought my dates wanted me to be.  A lot of people were just looking for ‘something casual’ but what I really wanted was something EPIC,” she explained.

“What is more epic than running a half marathon in a wedding dress?”
