Running of the Nudes

In the Running of the Nudes, naked humans, many wearing only plastic horns and red scarves, follow the same route taken by the Running of the Bulls from the Santo Domingo corrals through the town’s streets and ending at the Plaza de Toros.

The length of the run is some 800 metres (about half a mile) and the event takes about one hour.

In 2002, approximately 25 naked streakers ran through Pamplona's winding streets to promote an alternative to the Running of the Bulls.

[1] Animal welfare groups across Europe and in North America have promoted the event,[2][3] coordinating low-cost transportation and accommodations for the runners.

Local citizens, initially offended by the public display of nudity, have become more accepting due to changing morals and because the new event has extended the traditional festival and added to its important economic impact for the town.
