Wreck Beach Bare Buns Run

Body Acceptance is the Idea -- Nude Recreation is the Way! Featuring awards for every age category and finisher, the annual 5km Wreck Beach Bare Buns Run on the tidal flats below 200-foot high forested cliffs is the most unique and spectacular of all the runs in North America. Set for Sunday, August 10, will promptly start at 12 Noon on the beach at the foot of Wreck Beach Trail 6. An Awards Ceremonies will follow the run, including the presentation of the Slowpoke trophies! Walk-in registrants welcome from 9 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. on run day. Registration fees are $25 for adults or team members, $20 for youth 16 and under or seniors over 60, and includes a commemorative T-shirt or tank top. The run is clothing-optional: participants may choose to run shy (clothed), with bare bums, or totally nude. The purpose of the run is to raise public awareness of the wholesomeness of naturism and its creed of living in harmony with nature. Wreck Beach was declared one of Canada’s top 52 wonders out of 25,000 nominations in the June 7, 2007, CBC “Wonders of Canada” contest! Sponsors of the run have included U-Valux (Australian Gold Suntan Lotions), Echo Ann and Jello Matt, Federation of Canadian Naturists (FCN), Naturist Action Committee, Rackets and Runners, Stormin’ Norman’s Spirit Grill, The Van Tan Club, The American Association for Nude Recreation-Western Canadian Region (W-CANR), The American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR), Midtown Graphics, Lucy’s Empanadas, Wreck Beach Bare Ice Cream & Drinks, Fraternity Snoqualmie, Race Directions, Mountain Spring Water, and Godding Enterprises Ltd. Funds raised go to the Wreck Beach Preservation Society to help maintain Wreck Beach in as nearly a natural state as possible and to work toward stopping threats to the beach from roads and seawalls to jet fuel being transported into the North Arm of the Fraser or a jet fuel off-loading facility being built directly across from the Trail 6 section of Wreck Beach.
