Naked Pumpkin Run

Ok I just heard this and had to share.

On Halloween night at 8pm there will be a Naked Pumpkin Run along the sea wall between Beach Ave and Yaletown. This event people wear a carved pumpkin over their heads and run about 1 mile naked. Supposedly this event started in Boulder Colorado [wiki] years ago and has expanded. Hmmm they must be liberal minded Americans!

Hmmm I might just have to go check it out as it will end in my neighbourhood! :)

EDIT: Boulder Colorado has posted up their pictures at the following link: http://web.dailycamera.com/soundslides/1101pumpkin/

Yes, hehe, its funny that you said that people are liberal minded americans. Some say that Boulder is a completely different place when compared to Colorado and therefore call it the Republic of Boulder! So I just ran the pumpkin run in Boulder! Thas awesome that you guys are doing this in Canada! I came across your site using google.

HAHAHA!!! This is true!

Alas I didn't attend the event here in Vancouver. I got my comfy clothes on and didn't want to venture out in the cold last night.

I ran in the naked pumpkin run here in boulder too. You should check out their website, on the home page there is a link to a slide show of this year's run. It was chilly but absolutely fabulous!

It's amazing what you can find when you google a person's name and location! And it doesn't hurt to know they did a blog entry on the naked pumpkin run either!
