Central Park Underwear Run

What better way to cool off, on a hot summer Friday, than stripping down and going for a jog? This evening at 7:30 in Central Park, people will be doing exactly that.

In keeping with tradition, every year before the New York City Triathlon, there is an underwear race in Central Park. Unfortunately, registration for this event is closed. However, spectators are encouraged. There will also be plenty of sponsors on at the event handing out swag.

As an additional spectacle, the 2009 mayoral candidate, the Naked Cowboy will be on site. It should be a great chance to hob nob with the guy in his natural element.

The race is a 1.7 mile run at Dead Road, starting at 7:30. Organizers are attempting to set a world record, with this event of “most people assembled in their underwear.”
