Naked race tips

BerryH

I've entered a race in which all participants will be running naked. Nude. Starkers. In their birthday suits. As nature intended.

Did you know a collective noun for tigers is a streak? Or that there are only 300 Sumatran tigers left in the wild?

London Zoo's "Streak For Tigers" race raises awareness of its work with tigers by having 300 humans - many painted suitably stripy - streak through Regent's Park completely starkers. You'll be delighted to hear that the zoo is private land so I won't be hauled away for public indecency!

Have you ever run naked? What tips can you offer?

How will I cope without my industrial-strength sports bra? Should I practice by running nude round my living room? Where do I stop when applying sun cream? How do I keep my gaze at eye level?

All suggestions gratefully received!

There was a post about naked running yesterday. The OP couldn't believe it was a thing, but some people had some tips and tricks in the thread.....

I haven't run naked, but my tip would be VASELINE.

Also, I believe some nude races make an exception for (a) running shoes (and socks, if preferred) and (b) bras for ladies who would be in pain without one.

Avoid sand.

I had a chill go up my spine just thinking about sand and you poor ladies. :noway:

I was going to ask if you get to wear trainers or not...?

Don't run past any schools

Sorry, usually when I am running naked its because I have had too much to drink and do not remember much between the blackout periods.

I would imagine slow and steady wins the race?

I recommend holding your boobies the whole time.
This sounds hilarious by the way!
Men holding their junk, ladies holding their girls - all whilst running. Bwhahahaa.

blueboxgeek

Hahahahaha, this is awesome! Well done you for doing this, tigers are wonderful animals.

Seriously I would just have to hold my boobs the whole way, how long is the run?

Here is the coverage from last year (from a national newspaper but mildly NSFW for bare bottoms).

Yes, that and a wristband for your luggage, and entry comes with a tiger mask if you want to stay anonymous. Oh, and a couple of temporary tattoos!

I was thinking of wearing my barefoot trainers for a giggle.

i dont get how people can walk around with no shoes on. if i was a caveman i never would have left the cave. i cant imagine having to run away from a t-rex through woods with sticks and stones everywhere and stepping on them.

I used to go to Hedonism and Hippy Hollow (nudy places). I as pretty fit then.. That should be a new goal for me... looking good at a nudist camp. Good luck to you..

Sunglasses? so people don't see you staring at their goods?

I'd love to do a race like that! A friend of mine just sent info about one. Too bad there's not one around here!

I've been to Hippie Hollow several times when visiting Texas and have really enjoyed it.

Welp, I'm committed now (committed? I should be!), it's next Thursday:

While celebrating the body in all its shapes and sizes, I looked at last year's photos and scared myself silly at the reality of 300 naked people all in one place!

Tonight's the night! Could have done without my bum having been roundly attacked by mozzies the day before I expose it to the world for the first time :ohwell:

Hi I just need a little help, I have had 2 friends join me on my fitness pal and have opted for dairy view friends only, they can see mine but I still can't see theirs. They are confused and so am I, can anyone help.

siport

Good luck, we will be expecting photos lol

I would definitely suggest sunblock to cover those parts that rarely see the light of day (learned my lesson at a topless beach some years ago)

The last time I ran naked, I was 17 and screaming "red rooster! red rooster!" while tearing through the girl's dorm rooms. My only advice is make damn sure no one locks the door at the other end of the hallway. Oh. Not applicable here?

George_Baileys_Ghost

I imagine there'll be plenty of tips there already. What more can MFP offer?

lozzamagill

Never mind all sorted now.

OUCH!

Never done it, but I suggest having someone photograph you running naked during training and perhaps we can all analyze the photos and give you some pointers.
