When is the Undie Run in Detroit?
Call it a Fruit of the Loom footchase, a jog in Jockeys, a lope in lululemon, or a sprint in skivvies.
But its organizers call it Cupid’s Undie Run, and the annual race that has runners strip down to their unmentionables is set for Saturday, Valentine’s Day.
In Detroit, the race is scheduled to be held from noon to 4 p.m. and starts at Tin Roof Detroit, 47 E. Adams Avenue near Comerica Park downtown.

Saturday’s forecast for the race calls for partly sunny skies and a high of 38 degrees in Detroit, according to the National Weather Service.
Thousands of undie runners in cities across the U.S. come together every February for the event, now in its 16th year. In the inaugural run in 2013, Detroit had 500 participants.
The race raises money for the Children’s Tumor Foundation. The charity uses it for research aimed at ending neurofibromatosis, a group of genetic conditions that cause tumors to grow on nerves throughout the body.
