Aarhus University, Denmark, 2017
Today we show another 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 2017 race. Above, the contestants are waiting for the race to start.
About to start ...
and they're off!

A contestant in a grass skirt stops to do an impromptu hula for the audience.
Meanwhile, the runner in front is Lasse Høj Høstrup. He is 24 years old, studying medicine. He won the race the previous year

Høstrup, still in the lead, emerges into the shallow water on the other side of the pond.
He climbs out, and he's the winner.

And did I mention that the whole spring festival is basically a beer fest? Here are some audience members, because what goes in must come out.
We end with a video clip of Høstrup's final swim across the pond to win the race.

the winner is so cute!
Youth and nudity. Such a great combination.
Some folks should reinstate the streaking craze here in the uS.
The winner has a nice butt.
I'm surprised that none of them are good at swimming.
The cold it is there, everyone in winter sweaters, is not for me! I prefer to piss on the bushes with clothes!
