College Streaking - Part 47

 Aarhus University, Denmark, 2011-2012

Aarhus University in Aarhus, Denmark, has held an annual spring festival called Kapsejlads (boat race) since 1991.  Basically, it's a relay race in which each team member rows across a small pond in a park on the university property.

However, at least since 2010, the festival has started with an event called nøgenløb (naked race). The runners, mostly male but with a few females, run a course that goes along one side of the pond. Then they jump into the pond and swim across. The first one to make it to the other side of the pond wins.

These photos are from the 2011 race.  On your mark ...  get set ...

Go!

Following the naked race is the main event, the boat relay race in which each team member (not naked) rows across the pond, chugs a bottle of beer, spins around ten times, and rows back again.  Not only the racers are drinking beer.  For the audience of more than 10,000 people, the event is basically a beer fest.  Well, what goes in must come out, whether against a wall ...

or in the shrubbery ..

or into a little side stream ...

what a relief!  These pee photos are all from the 2012 event.

I have no video of the naked race from 2011, but here's a very short compilation of video clips from 2012.
