What? I just saw this post on Runner’s World’s website. There are actual nude running events??? What?
“Some people wear normal shirts and shorts, but 80 percent go fully nude, aside from shoes, sunglasses and perhaps hats. Oh, and definitely sunscreen.”
Holy moly. Makes me think of that Seinfeld episode with Jerry’s date who was a nudist – and he said how awful it was to watch a naked person cough/sneeze (can’t remember which). Basically, he learns the difference between “good and bad naked.”
Running naked seems like “bad naked.” All the flopping and jiggling. No matter how lean the person, the naked run can’t be fun to watch. Or maybe it is… maybe I am completely missing something here.
I mean…one can’t dispute the awesomeness of the Kona Underwear Run. But I would think that’s different. At least some clothing is involved. Even if minimal. Minimal clothing even helps keeps things in proper places.
Hmmmmm….. maybe a naked run is in my future. Ah-hem. Watching. Definitely only watching.
If you ever run the Bay to Breakers in San Francisco you will see some naked running. And I can tell you that it's definitely *bad* naked. Of course, most naked Bay to Breakers runners are old hippies, so there's a lot of…flopping.
Ew. Sara. Ew. Ew. LOL.
Gross to the ultimate degree. There's always a naked run at the Wildflower Triathlon and from what I've heard it's not a pretty sight! 🙂
Hey Colleen, I'm doing that race this year, do you know where & when that is so I can avoid it? 🙂
