The freedom of running without the encumbrance of clothing is something that must be experienced to fully appreciate how wonderfully exhilerating and natural it feels. Contrary to what you might expect, running naked is generally not uncomfortable although women might wish to wear a sports bra for support. More information about nude running can be found at http://internettrash.com/users/natural/running.html
In order to achieve fair competition across the range of ages taking part, we have decided to use the WAVA age-graded tables to calculate the results. This system is popular in America and provides an age-related factor (or handicap) from which adjusted finishing times can be determined. Also the system allows a relative comparison between male and female performances. In this way the performance of a 50 year old male could be compared with say a 20 year old female for example. Further information on this can be obtained at http://www.heartbreakhill.org/age_graded.htm
The first male and female across the line will collect the H&E trophies and 1st overall prizes. Thereafter the next 6 runners calculated on the graded system and regardless of gender will each collect a prize.
Why run naked?
