This 1.5 mile run, which challenges runners to “Put the Hilarity into Charity” took place at Natty Greene’s on West Jones Street and gave us runner’s an excellent excuse to run and party in our undies in the streets of downtown Raleigh without penalty.
The day was filled with dancing, running, and more festivities. Participant costumes ranged from superman costumes,
jester hats and capes, and variations of men and women intimate apparel. There were no limitations to what one might
see that day, with the only restrictions being “no thongs or pasties,” which
was pretty understandable.
With it being the weekend of Valentines, the weather was
still a bit frigid, but the beer, great food, and hilarious attire helped take
our minds off of the not-so-great weather.
Fundraisers were awarded with a VIP open bar and other cupid undie’s incentives. The run turned out to be a success, with us raising more than $49, 000 in Raleigh, NC. With the help of sponsors, fundraising teams, and participants the Cupid Charity was able to get pretty close to the $3 Million goal set for this year’s event.
I am so thankful to my team the “Cupid Stoopids” for making this
a fantastic day and I am looking forward to us “Putting the Hilarity
into Charity” and running with Cupid in 2015!
