No Pants, No Problem
The Cupid's Undie Run took place at The Wharf in Washington, DC on February 17, 2024. It was a charitable event where participants ran in their underwear to raise funds and awareness for Neurofibromatosis (NF) research. The event kicked off with a party at Union Stage at 12 p.m., followed by a mile-ish run around The Wharf starting at 2 p.m. Registration was $40 per person, and the event aimed to raise $140k, with all net proceeds going to NF research through the Children’s Tumor Foundation. The run was part of a broader effort, with similar events happening in cities across the United States throughout February.
Participants braved the chilly February weather with temperatures at around 34 degrees. Running in underwear during winter in Washington, DC, underscores the participants' commitment to raising awareness and funds for Neurofibromatosis research, highlighting their willingness to endure discomfort for a good cause.
The event is the nations largest pantless party run for charity. The run raises awareness of Neurofibromatosis (NF) and fundraises for research through Children's Tumor Foundation. Runners on the return leg of the race then head to the After Party at Union Stage.
