On 24 Feb. at Beijing’s Olympic Forest Park, the second Underwear Jogging Tournament invited runners from around the country to strip down and be at one with nature while burning a few calories.
Judging from these photos, it was quite a sight.
The event saw as many as 300 runners derobe and power through the park, some carrying banners and with messages written on their torsos. Whether the city’s recent spell of horrendously polluted air detracted from the event’s theme of enjoying nature while celebrating good health, we’re not sure, but it certainly looks like the participants had a great time despite the cold winter weather. Check out these cheeky chappies:
▼The runners limber up.
▼With no real hurdles to overcome, some men improvised.
▼Do you think he chose those pants especially for the day?
▼This man appears to be wearing two sets of underwear.
▼Knee pads. Very sensible
▼ That’s gotta start chafing after a few kilometres…
▼ Even cyberpunk vikings joined the fun!
▼ Some of the more serious runners.
Keep up the good work, boys and girls! If only we had a similar event here in Tokyo; we’re sure these rambunctious stallions would be more than up for it.
