Want to cross "run a 5K in the buff" off your bucket list? There's still time to register for the upcoming Caliente Bare Dare at the discounted rate.
This is the third year the race will will held at the resort, but it is the first time the results will determine the national champions of nude running, according to race officials.
Nudity is not required to enter. In fact, your Land O' Lakes Patch editor will take on the challenge fully clothed. (And I will likely blame the weight of my clothing for my lackluster finish time.)
