by: CourierMail
1. World Naked Bike Ride, worldwide, June and July
Held annually since 2004, bike riders from all around the world celebrate cycling in the nude. Nude cyclists bared their bods to stand up for what they believe in, with messages painted on their bodies. If you plan to participate next year, one TripAdvisor traveller advises, "Remember the sunscreen…those saddles will be hot, hot, hot, so cover them up before alighting, people!"
2. World Record Skinny Dip, US, July
More than 12,000 people stripped off and gathered in pools across the US to form the "largest number of people skinny dipping at once," now a category in the Guinness Book of World Records. All participants were required to don their full birthday suits, and word has it they plan to strip down again next year in hopes of beating the record again.
3. Nude Beach Olympics, Maslin Beach, Australia, January
The Nude Olympics take place on South Australia's sunny Maslin Beach, where the games are a celebration of the town’s status as first official nude beach in the country. A three-legged race is included among the events.
4. Running of the Nudes, Pamplona, Spain, July
The "Running of the Nudes" protests the cruelty of bullfighting, with participants showing some skin in hopes that one day Pamplona's bulls won't have to, donning plastic bull horns, red scarves, and little else, and running the half-mile Pamplona course.
One TripAdvisor traveller says, "I was shocked but entertained because everything was jiggling around and flopping around, if you know what I mean."
5. Burning Man, Black Rock Desert, Nevada, August – September
The annual Burning Man project is a self-proclaimed haven of self-expression, creativity and community that draws 50,000 people to the Black Rock Desert. Participants often take advantage of the free-spirited attitude by getting nude.
