On Wednesday, February 1st at 8:30 pm, students of SMSU will have the chance to lace up their running shoes and participate in the annual Nearly Naked Mile. This event is just what it sounds like-running a mile nearly naked. That means that students will wear shorts, t-shirts, etc. around campus, outside, in the dark. Luckily the weather has been in the upper forty’s all week, so hopefully the runners will not get frostbitten while running.
All students are encouraged to take part in this event. Students can participate for free, and all runners get a free t-shirt as well. This event is a race, and the first runner across the finish line will receive the grand prize. Prizes will be given out all night at the event. The main reason for this even is to raise money and clothing for families in need. Students participating in the event are encouraged to bring gently used clothing to donate. The more clothes you donate, the more prizes you will receive.
I have been training for this event all month long in hopes to win the race. It will be a lot of fun for students during Hawaiian Night week. Take a break from your studies on Wednesday and come out and support SMSU and have fun running a mile with your friends! Go Mustangs!
