Fremont is famous for the naked bike riders during the annual Solstice Parade. But another nude tradition is moving into its 4th year. The Naked Pumpkin Run is scheduled for Halloween day at noon. Clothing is optional, although you do have to wear a pumpkin on your head. You have to attend a pumpkin carving party earlier in the day to find out the secret locations of the day run through Fremont followed by a night run around Green Lake.
In past years, the Fremont runners generally choose to ignore any planned route and simply streak in different directions. They usually make a stop in front of Lenin’s statue, as seen in the photo above from the 2008 run. The pumpkin carving party starts at 10am at 3940 Fremont Ave N. Here’s a copy of the flyer will all the details.

The trick is to get a pumpkin big enough for your head but not too heavy.. White pumpkins tend to scare children though (more then being naked oddly enough).
Some of the guys might want to add some gourds since it can be chilly during the night run but anyone from Cascade bicycle club should be fine.

Fremont, as the good ladies of Go Fug Yourself are fond of saying …. LOOK INTO PANTS!

What if you want to cheer people on? I guess the location and time are secrets unless you go to the pumpkin carving part of the event. Good luck-!
