2007 Central Park Underwear Run
|
The New York City Triathlon's pre-race fun run is something different. You run a lap of Central Park in your underwear! |
|
 Yes, of course there is a clothing check in. The city doesn't want you riding the Subway in your underwear. |
 It's almost like any other race. |
 The 'Naked Cowboy' was host of the event. He strummed his guitar and sang short silly songs about undies and running in undies. |
 These guys had their phone numbers written on their behinds. |
 Some costuming, a diaper. The women in blue also spelled out something (I have no idea what!) |
 This is why I have no idea what they spelled out in front. |
| The best photo of the night! |  |
 Approximately 500 registered. |
 I have no photos of the run itself. I finished 14th overall. Along the way a lady in a horse-drawn carriage asked, "Why are you wearing underwear?" I said, "It's an underwear run!" People along the course were perplexed by both the race at that time of night, and the attire. |
 Chipolte restaurant was the title sponsor, and offered a plate of free food. |
 Nautica is the title sponsor of the triathlon itself, and offered free briefs to finishers (table at left). |
