Like the swallows of Capistrano or the Herndon Climb at the Naval Academy, the UCLA Undie Run, which happened this Wednesday, is a great example of the glorious order and rhythm of the natural world. Twice a year, overcome with hormones and booze, the students of the University of California Los Angeles (Go Bruins!) shed their threads and run around the campus nearly naked, knowing that like rampant pot-smoking and sexual experimentation, there is a time and place for everything, at that time and place is college.
LAist has been covering the event since it started in 2002 and ran a photo gallery yesterday, which we found a little too centered on giggling co-eds for our taste. So, for your edification and deeper understanding of the inherent beauty of the natural order, we present, after the jump, a gallery of mostly naked drunk college boys acting like idiots.

I presume that none of them are going into public life! The Washington DC 17th street High Heel race is still the spectacle du jour. Underwear parties are so 2005! How about naked parties at bars with SEX!
Hmmm, well if I were dictator I would ensure all the boys were naked and the women fully clothed!
I realize that these students have put themselves out for public scrutiny by allowing themselves to be semi-naked in public – and consequently having pictures of them posted over the internet – but I get a slight ick factor from seeing these non-public individuals' pictures posted on the internet. Regardless, these kinds of events may be history – I know that many Universities have become rather strict about banning such events for the very reason that pictures of students end up on the internet.
This is nothing—University of Vermont naked bike ride at midnight on the last day of finals. You havnt lived until you and 500 of your friends have let it all hang out in northern vermont in December. The first one of the year went down last night in the middle of our first big snowstorm. The best part was finding creative ways to warm up after…..
Vermonter,
the University of Vermont naked bike ride may be better than UCLA's undie run, however, neither compare to Tufts' annual Naked Quad Run, in which many hundreds of students run laps around the residential quad completely naked. Sorry.
@Japhy:
You're only young once.
I'd much prefer to see a bunch of hot looking guys and galls running around on campus in undies, jock straps,balls/ass naked, whatever, then see a 72 year old leather queen parading around in a leather bar with his drooping, naked ass hanging out of a pair of leather chaps.
And, I'm the guy who sells the chaps to these guys. lol
Would that these kids would come into my shop in New York and buy them for their hootenanny! ;-)
Man nothing is better then the UCSC first rain naked run. LOL the funny part is that every one is confused on whether it counts so when it first starts raining. There are multiple times masses of naked people start running. But then again summer in San Francisco can be fun, nothing funnier then naked nerd bonfire, the sand is irritating but being naked and no one is bothering to question, is fun.
I miss university.
nice sock puppet
oh to be young, hung, and full of cum
Pussies. At UC Santa Cruz we run NAKED.
MERRILL in the house! Not all the people who run run naked though.
Ugly
Caucasians
Living
With
Asians
@ Weevil… that was so rude.
I go to UCSB, the University of Casual Sex and Booze, and we too had our Undie Run on Wednesday and there was a Greek Naked Mile a couple of weeks ago also. It's great to have so much fun running around half naked or fully naked with a whole bunch of other revved up classmates and roommates of yours while relieving stress from finals. Ours may not be as famous as the UCLA Undie Run, but both of them are done for a good cause. All the clothes that are removed are collected and donated to a homeless shelter, and it usually ends up being this huge amount of clothing that is donated. Can't wait til the one in Spring!
1! 0! YOU! KNOW! Was a college ten until had to leave, the hospital down there is fucking annoying, not only do they not care if the patient is telling them not to use ativan. Then it just got worse after they found out I was gay.
if i were applying to college I wouldn't bother with UCLA. Where are the hot guys?? I thought CA was know for goodlooking men? I didn't see much eye candy in those pics.
Great write-up! More photos from the Undie Run can be found here: http://www.pixnation.com/la/pi.....Fall_2008/
