On Oct. 20, the fifth annual homecoming Fundie Run took place on Western’s campus. Though there weren’t many runners, it was still a success, given that the event got postponed to later in the week. The Fundie Run is a homecoming event that asks each contestant to donate at least two articles of clothing in order for them to enter a running race around Western’s campus. The race is a mile long run that the participants compete in while wearing only underwear, or running clothes if they prefer. The race then ends at the bonfire location; the person who wins the race then lights the bonfire. The event raised a full barrel worth of clothes that will be donated to the Union Gospel Mission, located in Salem.
