Get ready for a heartwarming dash with a daring twist at Cupid's Undie Run - New Jersey, taking place on February 21, 2026, in lively Seaside Heights. This unique event challenges participants to shed their inhibitions and brave the chilly Jersey Shore air in their undies (or creative costumes!) for a vital cause. It's a "mile(ish)" journey along the iconic boardwalk, promising flat terrain and invigorating ocean views as you run or walk. With typical race day conditions seeing highs around 44F and lows near 24F, and only a 13% chance of precipitation, you'll feel the brisk air, but the incredible atmosphere and purpose will keep you warm.

More than just a run, Cupid's Undie Run is a "pantless party with a purpose", dedicated to raising awareness and funds for the Children's Tumor Foundation to fight neurofibromatosis (NF). This impactful charity event, which began in 2010, has a reputation for being both "bold, hilarious, and unexpectedly heart-warming". Runners often share personal stories, adding profound meaning to the experience as they contribute to groundbreaking research and vital treatments for NF. The festivities kick off and conclude at the Beachcomber Bar & Grill at 100 Ocean Terrace, serving as the central hub for pre- and post-run revelry, featuring music, dancing, and spirited fundraising activities.

Join thousands nationwide in this one-of-a-kind event where a little crazy meets a lot of charity. Whether you're a seasoned runner or simply looking for an unforgettable way to make a difference, the Cupid's Undie Run offers a vibrant community experience. Expect a "rowdy, raucous sprint" filled with camaraderie and cheer, all while supporting a crucial mission. So, strip down, step up, and be a hero in your underwear on February 21, 2026, helping to #endNF.
