Run With The Nudes in Pamplona (They’re Recruiting!)
Are you someone who’s happy to run around in the buff for a good cause? If so, you’re in luck: the folks at Running of the Nudes are recruiting for this year’s anti-bullfighting protest in Pamplona, Spain.
These are the guys who are so passionate about their cause (abolishing bullfights) that every year on the day before Pamplona’s famous Running of the Bulls gets started (early July), they gather in the town to protest – in a rather unusual (and somewhat attention-grabbing) manner.
This year will be the sixth annual Running of the Nudes, so if you feel strongly about bullfighting (and feel like stripping off to little red horns and not much else), it’s time to sign up and show the world what you’re made of (ahem).
