Streaking is Alive, Well and Legal at Florida's
Naturists Parks
Press Release
February 2006
Florida Running and Triathlon
In the mid 70's a craze swept the nation in
unprecedented speed, it was called streaking. It wasn't
an original idea, but a popular ritual that occurred on
many college campuses marking the rites of spring.
However, for a fleeting moment it was occurring
everywhere and involved a lot more than just college
kids. It even generated a pop tune by Ray Stevens called
"The Streak". But just as soon as this fun-filled
adventure appeared it soon vaporized back to college
campuses with many people wondering, still today, of
what it would be like to run carefree and naked.
Then in the 1990's, a similar craze began, but on a much
quieter note and not on the campuses of American
universities. It's called the 5K clothing optional race
and it is growing in popularity at naturist and clothing
optional parks throughout the United States. In Florida
there are currently three clothing optional (nude) races
held annually.
Hidden River Resort, a clothing optional park located 30
miles east of Jacksonville in the small rural area of
Moniac, Georgia, is holding their second 5K clothing
optional trail run. Called the Hidden River 5K Streak,
this run is not a road race but uses existing nature
trails on the park. It's scheduled for April 29th and is
held in conjunction with the annual Nudie Blues Concert
weekend. The race is open for anyone. In addition to the
5K run they are hosting a 1 mile guided clothing
optional trail walk that lets participants learn about
nature naturally.
Just 12 miles north of Tampa in Lutz, Florida, Lake Como
Nudist Resort will be hosting their 14th Annual 5K Dare
To Be Bare race which will be held on Sunday, May 7th.
In addition they will have a scheduled 2.5K walk as
well. In past years there race have attracted well over
100 participants for their 5K race. Finally, in
November, Paradise Lakes Resort, located in Land O Lake,
Florida will host their 12th Annual Sneaker Streaker 5K
Race. This race is held in conjunction with their Health
Fair which is held on the same day and opened to the
public.
One may ask why these clubs host these races. Quite
simple, it gives them an opportunity to invite folks to
their clothing optional or nudist park and participate
in outdoor activity that they are use in doing. Each of
these races is open to the general public and welcomes
runners and walkers to spend the day and visit the
facilities. It's a great way for naturist parks to let
people see for themselves that there is no mystery
behind these parks, just a different and fun way to
enjoy the outdoors.
As for the runners, it gives them a different running
experience that they can reflect on long after the race.
Many runners would agree that after participating in
fifty or so 5K races there is usually not anything real
special to remember. However, once involved in a nude
run, it is definitely something you will not soon
forget.
So, if you ever felt cheated in not getting the chance
to experience the streaking craze of the 1970's, or just
wondered how it felt to run like the early Greeks in the
Olympics, then here is your best chance. |

NATURISM ENCOURAGES MUTUAL RESPECT
(READING) |
|

Naturism is characterized by the practice of
communal nudity. Nudity is seen by most people
as being the most obvious aspect of naturism.
While it is true that nudity is central to
naturism, it is also a means of encouraging
self-respect, respect for others, and for the
environment. To approach another person
completely naked is an act of trust. You are
saying, in effect, "Here I am, completely
unpretentious, with all my physical
imperfections on view. Accept me for what I am,
and I will accept you as you are. What you see
is the whole "me" as I really am." Such an
attitude can only engender mutual respect.
You feel really close to nature when you discard
your clothes and feel warm sunshine, fresh air
or cool water on the whole of your body. Being
naked outdoors gives you a great sense of
freedom.
Being naked in the presence of others is a
pleasurable experience, but it is pleasure in
the nicest sense of the word. It is very
relaxing and enjoyable. You won't find naturists
nervously leering at each other - they are open
and trusting of each other, accepting each
other's imperfections, and respecting each
other's personalities.
Clothes restrict the flow of air over the skin
and prevent the evaporation of perspiration.
Clothes encourage the proliferation of bacteria
and microscopic fungi, especially in humid and
warm conditions. They interfere with the body's
natural temperature control mechanisms, making
some parts hotter than others. Naked people
rarely smell bad, but sweaty clothes do. Tight
shorts and trousers, raise the temperature of
the testicles in the male, thus interfering with
the development of sperm and male hormones and
reducing fertility. Nakedness is the human
animal's natural condition and contributes to
physical and emotional health.
