Whether you are a well-seasoned runner or a beginner, running a themed race is on all our bucket lists. Basic marathons? Eh…we’d like something fancier. All for a good cause though!
So, here are 7 themed races to challenge you!- Nude Run Of Finland
The nude run is a marathon through the forests of Finland where participants can run, walk or Nordic walk at their own leisurely pace. Competitors are allowed to wear only socks, shoes, hats and a little something on top for women (although most seem to go bare).
- Jingle Bell Run / Walk For Arthritis
In support of Arthritis Foundation’s mission to prevent, cure and control arthritis and related diseases, participants hit the pavement donning all sorts of holiday gear. These races carry on throughout the winter!
