Aarhus University 2015
Today we return to the annual nøgenløb (naked race), the opening event of the Kapsejlads spring festival at Aarhus University in Aarhus, Denmark. The runners, mostly male but with a few females, run a course that goes around the side of a pond. Then they jump into the pond and swim across. The first one to make it to the other side of the pond wins.
Today's photos are from the 2015 race. Above, the race begins.
The pack of runners at the front.
This guy is running for laughs, not to win ...

as is this guy. Written across his chest is "nøgne Jacob" (naked Jacob).
As you can see, Jacob has nothing on beneath his flotation device.
The leading runners jump into the pond to swim across ...
while Jacob spends more time hamming it up for the audience.
At the other side of the pond, the swimmers wade out ...
and this guy is the winner.
We end with a video of the race, from the serious contenders to the also-rans to naked Jacob bringing up the rear.

obviously my eyes are only for men!
Obviously an awful lot of fun for participants and viewers alike.
What a healthy attitude of the people to allow this!
Oh, those college kids! Going fully nude for our viewing pleasure!
Ever notice that when nude men run in step, their meat swings in step as well??
I love naked race!
