Putting It All Out There

When was the last time you ran a race in your underwear? If the answer is never, this is your chance. Throw on your boy shorts and sports bra, or if you’re feeling shy keep your tracksuit on, and participate in the raciest race in Canada. Sunnybrook’s Odette Cancer Centre in Toronto and the Segal Cancer Centre in Montreal are hosting the Underwear Affair (racers have already undressed this summer in Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton), an event designed to raise funds for cancers below the waist such as prostate, colorectal, cervical and ovarian. Participants of all ages and athletic abilities are encouraged to take part in the 10K run or 5K walk. The best part – other than helping fund life-saving research, of course – is once you cross the finish line, you can treat yourself to drinks at the Exposed Afterparty and enjoy some dancing – that is, if your legs don’t feel like spaghetti.
