2016 Cupid Undie Run in Atlanta

Saturday, February 13, 2016

Each Valentine’s Day weekend for the past few years, people around Atlanta have celebrated the day of love with getting half naked and running through the streets. That’s right the Cupid Undie Run was on Saturday and people were out to raise money for neurofibromatosis research and to have a great time.

The afternoon started at Big Sky in Buckhead with drinks, dancing, socializing and music followed by the run. Although not a race per se, it was only a short time before the runners started to return for the after party.

This year around 800 people raised over $250,000 for NF research!
