Nude runners in Boulder, Colorado, this Halloween may get a ticket, but that’s about it. If the Naked Pumpkin Run tradition is revived on the Pearl Street Mall this year, runners caught wearing nothing but pumpkins on their heads will get tickets for violating the city’s new public nudity law. A new city ordinance means the streakers will face a less severe penalty than in 2008. Some of those ticketed during the annual Halloween run in ‘08 faced the prospect of being classified as sex offenders because they were cited with indecent exposure under a state law. Most nude runners accepted plea deals for lesser penalties. Last Halloween, runners covered up to avoid trouble. This year, naked runners face a fine up to $1,000 and/or 90 days in jail – but no mandatory registration as a sex offender.
