Every February, thousands of undie runners in cities across the U.S. come together, whether it be in-person or virtually, to support those affected by NF, a group of genetic conditions that cause tumors to grow on nerves throughout the body.
Cupid’s Undie Run kicks off with drinking and dancing, then we jog it out with a mile(ish) run and end it all with an epic dance party!

FAQ
WHAT LEVEL IS THIS HIKE: This is a Beginner/Intermediate Level hike which is suitable for all level hikers. The terrain is mostly flat but has a few small hills.
CAN BEGINNERS ATTEND THIS HIKE: Yes, this is a beginner friendly hike.
WHAT IS THE PACE OF THE GROUP: The group pace will be moderate and may break up into two pace groups (fast or slow). We will have hike leaders mixed within the group and we will stop periodically for water and rest.
WHAT TYPE OF HIKE IS THIS: This is a 5 mile point-to-point trail, which begins at one location and ends at a different location, meaning you hike in one direction and need to arrange transportation to get back to the starting point.
ARE PETS ALLOWED: Yes
IS PARKING FREE: Parking is free but we suggest you arrive as early as possible to secure a good parking space
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR: A good rule of thumb is to dress comfortably and in layers. Dressing in layers will allow you to stay warm when your cold and as you warm up, you can take off layers and not over heat. It’s going to be cool to cold so we strongly suggest warm clothing, moisture wicking under garments, a hat, sturdy hiking boots or trail sneakers (your choice), wool socks, a small day back, trekking poles (optional) and plenty of water.

Goombay Skip Day Hike 2 – OLD RAG MOUNTAIN/SPRING EDITION
Friday, May 9th | 5am – 6:30pm
Old Rag is an awesome hike in Shenandoah National Park. Some say it’s even the best hike in the mid-Atlantic region. Old Rag Mountain tops out at 3,284 feet. Though the tip is far from the highest point in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Old Rag is unique for its rocky summit and difficult terrain, which includes long stretches of bare rock that bear a closer resemblance to the rugged peaks of Yosemite than anything else you’ll find in Virginia. This is a fun but challenging hike that is great for adults!
