€€ BARE FACTS: Remember your sunscreen, especially if you are a Newbie Nude. Running/Walking nude is one of the healthiest choices you can make. No, it does not hurt. It’s NATURAL. And yes, you do wear running/walking shoes. (But, you won’t if you are one of those barefoot runners.) Shower facilities will be available. You must be nude to use the pool or hot tub. Please direct any questions to Gary or Sue at 704-880-4561 or email at buttsarunnin@aol.com. Do not call the resort for race questions!

€€ Clothing: The race is clothing optional. So, it is up to you whether to BARE it or stay clothed and ease into the BARE lifestyle. Please be sure to bring at least two towels with you. When being BARE, it is nudist etiquette to sit upon your own towel. **WARNING** FOR THE SUNSHINING HEALTH OF IT:  There will be many nude participants, members, guests, volunteers and officials. 

B:  Behavior. It’s your ticket to returning to a future event.

A:  Always was a first time for all of us to BARE.

R:  Run or Walk with other like-minded social recreational nudists with no body judgments. 

E:  Early registration makes it possible for you to secure an Inaugural race T-shirt. The first 100 will be the lucky ones to get this unique item.         (Please include $2.00 Extra for size XXL)

 

·          BARE TO GO GREEN is the Motto for our events. This will be a green-friendly event. Just think, if you choose to go BARE, you are saving the environment from some of that laundry detergent that goes into our streams and rivers.

·          Green your life….one step at a time.

·          Live green….run green….go BARE….By doing what we can to promote sustainable recreation at our nudist clubs and to promote a healthier course for our planet.
