Nearly Naked Mile

What’s better than running a Nearly Naked Mile and enjoying great food and drink at Clyde’s Restaurant, all on a cool November afternoon? Not much!

Join us for the Nearly Naked Mile with a fantastic before AND after party at Clyde’s restaurant! The Nearly Naked Mile and before and after party will take place on November 10, 2012 at the Reston Town Center in Reston, VA.  The Nearly Naked Mile is presented by the Northern Virginia F.O.O.L.S. and Potomac River Running.  The race benefits the Burn Foundation.

RUN FOR A CAUSE: The Burn Foundation is a non-profit organization founded by active and retired DC firefighters. The Foundation is dedicated to assisting in the recovery and rehabilitation of injured firefighters and burn patients in the DC Metropolitan area. The Foundation supports burn research, treatment, and rehabilitation programs at Washington Hospital Center as well as the Children’s Burn Camp Program. You can learn more about how to contribute towards the prevention, treatment, education and recovery of burn injuries by visiting The Burn Foundation.

NEARLY NAKED WHILE RACING: We encourage our participants to represent what it means to feel comfortable in one’s own skin, just like the strength that burn victims demonstrate.  Wear the BARE minimum to warm you while you run in chilly temperatures!

CELEBRATE: At the finish line, runners/walkers will be welcomed by The Northern Virginia Bag Pipers “Pipe.” Each finisher will receive a personal thanks from a Burn survivor and if you’re at least 21 years of age, you will receive a free beer! There will be food and drinks for all participants and their families. There will also be firefighters from the Burn Foundation displaying both antique and current fire engines. Kids can get a red firefighter hat, too!

KEEP THE CELEBRATION GOING! Join us and the Nearly Naked finishers for food and drink directly after the awards ceremony at Clyde’s restaurant, also in the Reston Town Center!

SWAG: The first 500 registrants will receive flannel boxer shorts (gender specific sizing) AND a collectible pint glass! Make sure to register now!

AWARDS: There will be overall awards and age group awards for each 1 Mile race (see schedule below). There will also be a team competition. Teams can be comprised of an unlimited amount of runners. The first 4 participants of each team scores and a team score must have at least one female and one male. Winners will receive Nearly Naked Mile robes!
