The colossal grand-daddy demonstration of all nude runs!

First I'd like to take some time to give a standing salute to all the proud men willing to bare all for a cause they're passionate in. 

A very well done to you chaps! 

Removing your clothes to bring attention to your cause, a ballsy move by any standard... specially as that's exactly what you've got swinging in the breeze. 

Extra accolades to the guys not only willing to let it all hang loose but who look amazing while doing it. If you're gonna do it, might as well have something to show. To the athletic bodied, well groomed men standing confidently out in the elements, thank you for the service you provide your cause.

Those in the know, know that sex sells...and nudity is a major draw card.

We've all seen the 'rather be naked than wear fur' demonstrators..and college students seem to find any excuse to get their bits out. Now, stay with me on this one. What happens when the cause is nudity itself? The self proclaimed "ULTIMATE nude "streak" in the world"?

That's right I'm talking about the one and only annual demonstration in the streets of San Francisco to promote the acceptance of.......the public nude figure.

Boston has its Marathon... Pamplona has the bulls... New Orleans has Mardi Gras...

San Francisco has the historic Zazzle Bay to Breakers 12k.

The 101-year old Zazzle Bay to Breakers 12k is one of the world’s largest and oldest footraces, held annually in San Francisco, California. The name reflects the traditional course which takes tens of thousands of participants from the northeast end of the downtown area near The Embarcadero (the "bay" side of the city) to the west end of the city and the "breakers" of Ocean Beach. The 7.46 mile (12 kilometer) race features world-class athletes in addition to costumed runners and 'fun-loving' folks out for a great day of running and walking through San Francisco.

Bay to Breakers is held each May, and a large group of participants have their own agenda. I introduce to you "Bare to Breakers."

"There is a time when people reach a point in their lives when they just want to say "Why not!" make a statement."
"For many, BARE-2-BREAKERS is that statement whereby they can exercise their Free Speech rights, demonstrate their pro-nude viewpoint, and take life a little less seriously." 


The Bare2B team isn't hard to miss, if the masses of naked flesh don't catch your eye the brightly coloured yellow caps and smiley balloons will be sure to grab your attention.

More than just a group of people demonstrating naked. It is a dedicated group which raises funds for charity; and through a modest registration donation structure, its members contribute to the promotion and fostering of the nude demonstration through a BARE-2-BREAKERS outreach support program.

By the looks of some of their participants I'm sure they're receiving a lot of interest....
