UCLA's end of term, near-nude right-of-passage, The Undie Run (mucho LAist coverage) went off this week. In this video, the stripped-down co-eds can be seen jogging in fleshy unison, like a Discovery Channel special on the salmon migration. LA Times reporter, and LAist contributor, Adam Rose, doing his best Melissa Rivers, wondered "who are you wearing?" An anonymous source told LAist that only one intoxicated person attended this event. However, that party-fouler does not appear in this video. No way. more ›

Although the Undie Run has been around since 2002 (in lieu of the Midnight Yell), major media outlets really didn't start to catch on until a few years ago. Last night, ESPN, NBC, FOX News and four LA Times staffers (Adam Rose produced a great video for them) were seen at the event. LAist has covered the event since 2006 so here is some of last night mixed up with the best of since '06: more ›

LAist has been sending undercover reporters to UCLA's undie run for the past few quarters and trust us, there's no better place to be embedded than in a throng of thongs. Try as they might to duplicate our coverage (we're looking at you, KTLA ... and the creepy dude with a camera lens that was a lil' too long, if you know what we mean), nobody can uncover a story like we can. Thanks... more ›

What with all the Big Game festivities going on this weekend, a girl can't help but think back fondly upon her alma mater. But you know what? It's only been a few years since I left UCLA, and I gotta say -- I almost don't recognize the place anymore. Has it really been so long since I graduated? Five years? Maybe more? So much has changed -- I came of age in the Steve... more ›

Earlier this month UCLA held their infamous Undie Run which has been completely covered by serveral indepth LAist photo essays (and out of fairness we even covered the USC Fountain Run). This last Undie Run was bigger and even more successful, so therefore thanks to UCLA student and photographer Eric Kim, we are able to give you the biggest Undie Run photo essay ever. Because of the nature of the content - scantily clad... more ›

You thought you had seen it all. You thought we weren't going to bring you anything more shocking than last week's UCLA Undie Run Photo Essay and Bonus Essay. Oh boy were you wrong. This town thrives on sequels, so we're delivering one of our own. Last time we brought you bras, panties, and not much else.

We've never been bigger Bruins fans during March Madness, and we're not talking about basketball. Hundreds -- possibly thousands -- of coeds stripped down for the traditional UCLA Undie Run. This edition had a slightly modified course that kept the run on campus, starting in front of the fraternities and ending in a fountain by Royce Hall. LAist was on the scene to provide complete coverage of the uncoverage. In this post you'll find... more ›

A picture is worth a thousand words, and sometimes in photo journalism that is more words than you need. A second post of pictures covering the Undie Run? Sure, why not. More photos after the jump.... more ›

It is exam week right now at UCLA, and all of the students are feeling mighty stressed. It's a good thing Bruins have excellent coping mechanisms for finals anxiety, including midnight howling at the moon as well as running across campus almost naked at midnight of the third day of finals - it's tradition. LAist decided to stop by last night to take some photos of the debauchery. Follow the link to get the... more ›
