The annual Fundie Run, where scantily clad runners race through the streets of campus, took place at 6 p.m. Oct. 14, 2015, in front of the WUC.<\/p>\n
The racers donated two pieces of clothing each to gain entry into the run, after which they stripped down to their skivvies and sneakers. The clothing will be donated to the Union Gospel Mission Thrift Store.<\/p>\n
At 5:30 p.m., the runners starting showing up, looking like a normal crowd of college students– some possibly heading to the gym, others seeming to have just come from class. That all changed once six o\u2019clock struck and clothes were removed. Around 30 students, in various degrees of undress, lined up at the starting line.<\/p>\n
They raced a mile long stretch that started in front of the WUC, wrapped around the back of campus, and came back through the main thoroughfare.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat better way to go \u2018yeah I\u2019m in college and I\u2019m gonna just have a lot of fun and do something dumb.\u2019 I also appreciate that it\u2019s for a good cause,\u201d said Jacob Howard, a senior education major who has participated in the race since he started at Western.<\/p>\n
Students were sure to look their best, picking out their ensemble specifically for the event.<\/p>\n
Carter Craig, sophomore history major, showed up to the event with a \u2018jammy pack\u2019– a fanny pack with speakers in it. His underwear fit the fun theme of the run as well. Carter said, \u201cThey say \u2018go nuts\u2019 on them and have pictures of squirrels.\u201d<\/p>\n
Howard stated that he color coordinated his headband to his underwear. He also wore socks emblazoned with the school\u2019s initials.<\/p>\n
\u201cI always pick out something special, just for the day, you know, for a bit of confidence … anytime I gotta represent this university, I wear my WOU socks,\u201d said Howard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
