Naked race tips
Options
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.....

Good luck to your bouncing mounds! :drinker: :bigsmile:0 -
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.0 -
Avoid sand.

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?0 -
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.0 -
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?0 -
Here is the coverage from last year (from a national newspaper but mildly NSFW for bare bottoms).

I was thinking of wearing my barefoot trainers for a giggle.0 -

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.0

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..0

Sunglasses? so people don't see you staring at their goods?0

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!0

I've been to Hippie Hollow several times when visiting Texas and have really enjoyed it.0 -
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!0
