Zor se Bol

Nude Recreation Week is celebrated this month and is in its 32nd year.  Checkout the top five nude events of the world in our picture story below:

Running of the Nudes, Pamplona, Spain – July


PETA’s “Running of the Nudes” protests the cruelty of bullfighting with participants choosing to show a little skin in hopes that one day Pamplona’s bulls won’t have to. The runners don plastic bull horns, red scarves, and little else, to run the half-mile Pamplona course. Compassionate and fun-loving people from around the world meet in Pamplona for the run to show the city that it doesn’t need to torture animals for tourism. Photo: Reuters

World Naked Bike Ride, Worldwide – June and July


Each year since 2004, bike riders have joined to celebrate cycling and protest a culture where cars are king. This year, in 20 countries around the world, participants advocated freedom from oil and fabric. Nude cyclists bared their bodies with messages painted on their backs, fronts and rears. A traveller’s advise: “Remember the sunscreen … and those saddles will be hot, hot, hot, so cover them up before alighting, people!” Photo: Reuters

Nude Beach Olympics, Maslin Beach, Australia


The southern end of Maslin beach – south of Adelaide in South Australia – is Australia’s first official nude beach and to celebrate the fact of nude, nudity and everything naked, each and every January – on or about Australia Day (January 26) – hundreds of beach-goers front up, tackle out, for the annual Maslin Beach Nude Olympics. Events include the nude 3 legged race (not touching that one), the discus, the flag race and the best bum competition. Photo: AFP

Black Rock Desert, Nevada, August – September


The annual Burning Man project is a self-proclaimed haven of self-expression, creativity and community. Drawing 50,000 people to the Black Rock Desert in 2008, huge works of art are generated at the event, namely the “Man”, which is burned on the final night as part of the process of restoring the area to its natural state, with no trace of the revellers. Participants often take advantage of the free-spirited attitude by getting nude. Photo: Reuters

AANR World Record Skinny Dip, Across North America


The American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR) sponsors the record attempt for the largest number of people simultaneously skinny dipping across North America. This time there were 147 clubs participating and at least seven public beaches where optional clothing or nude swimming is authorised across North America. The individuals attending were advised it was all good, clean fun and they had a great time. Photo: AFP
