Shed your clothes for Bare Buns 5K
Felt a little encumbered in the Capitol 10,000 last weekend? Peel off your clothes and join the Bare Buns 5K this Saturday at Star Ranch, a nudist camp 20 miles east of Austin.
Yes, the runners are nude, for the most part. Some women wear jog bras.
It’s part of a series of runs at nudist clubs in the southwest region of the United States. The Star Ranch is a family-oriented mobile home park and residential community.
“Ours is always the first of the season,” says David Phillips, who is helping to organize the event.
“Having worn my own rut in the glorious path around Memorial Park in Houston for several years back in my running days, I can tell you that our run is no walk in the park,” Phillips says. “The terrain here is uneven, and our soil is mostly beach sand. If there has been no rain for a couple of weeks before a run, that sand affords no real traction. It is more like cross-country running.”
Sounds tough.
The run starts at 1 p.m. April 17.
Registration is $25 for adults or $10 for children here. For more information email info@starranch.net.
