Racing presidents to appear in Cupid’s Undie Run Saturday

The Washington Nationals racing presidents will participate in Saturday’s Cupid’s Undie Run, reports The Hill.

Cupid's Undie Run, Washington DCThe event is held annually on Valentine’s Day weekend, and raises money for The Children’s Tumor Foundation.

Participants volunteer to strip down to their underwear and run 1.5 miles in usually-freezing cold weather, though this year’s participants are relatively lucky. The forecast for race time is a balmy 44 degrees.

The race is scheduled to begin at 2:00pm from Pour House at 319 Pennsylvania Avenue SE and head towards Independence Avenue, then up 1st St SE. Spectators are welcome.

Thanks Running is Funny

Presidents Race Fan

I am a huge Washington Nationals fan (and partial season ticket holder) whose son fell in love with the Presidents Race from that first day in July, 2006 when big-headed Teddy first came up short. It's wonderful to think that such a fan-friendly tradition could become established in DC so quickly. Who says DC doesn't have great fans? I hope that our chants of "Let Teddy Win!" during the Presidents Race will continue to add fun and excitement to Nationals Park, and help turn more and more young people into Washington Nationals fans. I started letteddywin.com to have fun and help fuel the fan spirit around the presidents race.
