🔒 Privacy and Results

Please note: We do not post results or participants of this race online or anywhere else. We’ve found that many runners have no problem with having their names posted online as participants of a clothing-optional run on race sites that list finishing times. However, some people object for understandable reasons: privacy, job concerns, or just not wanting to deal with grief from friends not brave enough to race themselves. Rather than sort this out, we opt not to post results.
