Underwear Run

Start your daily regimen of crunches, planks, and bicycles to prepare for the big day and get pumped for an awesome event! 

The Underwear Run is a 1.7 mile fun run that takes place in Central Park every year on the Friday before the New York City Triathlon. No transitions, no timing chips, no expensive race gear, just 500 strangers running around in their underwear. Another typical summer evening in New York City!

In 2009 the Jamaica Underwear Run broke the world record for the greatest number of people gathered in their underwear. With 448 scantily-clad sign-ins the Jamaica Underwear Run more than doubled the previous record. If you helped us do it, thanks for participating! And tell all your friends you're in the record books! See the visual evidence here!  Questions? Email John.
