      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.

*Many Thanks*                                                  Good Luck

“We shall declare the joy of running!                                              

Who shall tell of the pleasures of flight!                                         

Springing and spurning the tufts of wild heather,

Sweeping, wide winged, through the dome of light.

Everything mortal has moments immortal,

Swift and God-gifted, immeasurably bright.

So with the stretch of the road before me

Shining crystals rainbowed by the sun,

Fields that are painted with flowers and shadows,

Strong with the strength of my horse as we run.

Joy in the touch of the wind and the sunlight!

Joy! With the vigorous earth I am one.”
