The UCLA Undie Run - June 2007 Edition
()
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 college kids running through Westwood and various campus fountains to celebrate the end of finals - what you may see after the jump is not safe for work.

Go Bruins...
Most people don't know that the Undie Run is an actual run. The kids literally haul ass around Westwood and through campus, so here are some pix of the kids running..

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
Chip in now to fund your local journalism
