We encourage participants to donate the clothing off their back to the homeless/needy at one of our many designated donation stations. Once you have donated your clothing, head over to one of the "art stations" and feel free to use your body as a canvas and write all over your body what you would like to see change in the state of Utah. This could be law changes or a message supporting any organization, whatever you see fit. Get creative with it. Once you are in your skivvies and covered with statements that are important to you, enjoy the music and check out some of our sponsors’ booths. Or if you’re not already registered to vote, be sure to register at our Registration Station. Many participants may choose to wear costumes, and this is entirely acceptable and encouraged as long as it still falls within Guinness Guide Lines explained later on.
5:30 pm
We will do our Undie Stretches so no one gets a horrific butt cramp ;)
6:00 pm
The Run starts at 6:00 pm sharp. It's 5K, We will leave from Library Square and head over to and run up State Street, and around the Capitol where the official Guinness World Record Count will take place. You will see a fenced area, and on your way into the fenced area you will be officially counted. The Guinness Rules require that you are wearing only Underpants that are made for the purpose of being Underpants, Men CANNOT have a shirt on and Women MAY have a shirt on if they wish. If you are in costume that breaks these rules you will have an opportunity here to fix your attire prior to entering into the fenced area.
Once ALL Participants have entered the fenced area the fence will be closed and all participants must remain in the fenced area for 5 Minutes. There will be music and entertainment during this time. Once the 5 Minutes have passed the gate will once again open and we will run back down State Street to Library Square. At Library Square we will have more speakers, DJs, and entertainment so feel free to hang out and have a good time. The event will end around sunset and if you and your group are still looking to party, all Undie Runners will enjoy Free Admission to the Undie After Party TBA.
