What is the story of Cupid’s Undie Run?
The Cupid’s Undie Run started in 2010 in Washington DC, United States. A group of friends came up with the idea of running in their underwear in cold weather to raise awareness and funds for the Children’s Tumor Foundation. Since then, the event has grown and gained popularity, taking place in several cities around the world, including New York City, around the time of Valentine’s Day. The idea of combining a celebratory underwear run and a fundraiser for research into neurofibromatosis, a genetic disease that causes tumors to grow on nerves throughout the body, made waves Cupid’s Undie Run an annual tradition that attracts participants from all walks of life.
