The event is marked with a 10 km run and a five km walk and is intended to help raise money to help cure cancers below-the-belt, including prostate, ovarian and colorectal cancers.
Upon registering, participants will be given their own webpage to help collect donations. Participants are encouraged to run in their underwear, pajamas, or even a super hero costume of their choosing.
Prizes will be given out to participants with the best times, best costumes and top fundraisers. Other races will be held in Calgary on June 4, Ottawa on June 11, and in Vancouver on July 9.
