Cupid’s Undie Run is a unique charity event in Washington DC. Participants run a mile-long lap in their Valentine-themed briefs to raise money for the Children’s Tumor Foundation and raise awareness for neurofibromatosis research. The event began in Washington DC in 2010 and is now held each year in dozens of cities around the world. If you are not brave enough to put your clothes on, it is a fun event to watch and support the participants.
Please note that the event will take place in a new location this year. The route involves a very short ride of about a mile around scenic downtown Washington DC. During previous years, participants ran in front of the US Capitol and parts of the National Mall.
