<font size=3>As part of the Australian Naturist (TAN) Magazine Fun Run series, the Phoeniz Nudist Club
is proud to become part of the Tan fun run series that are held throughout Australia. We will be having entries
from multiple clubs from throughout the region.</p>
<p>It matters not whether you can run or simply want to come for a great day of bush walking. There will be the traditional
sausage sizzle with cool refreshments at the end of the day. Gate fee: $5 - with the bulk of the proceeds being donated
to the John Forrest National Park. So come along and have a fantastic day.</p>
<p>The Phoenix Nudist Club was organized and registered in May 2006. The club
is affiliated with the ANF.</p></font>

<P>
<font size=3>Now established as one of the UK's finest nude runs, this three mile race around the
trails of the Naturist Foundation's grounds in Kent provides serious competition, or simple nude
recreation. Either way, this is a very special event now in its fourth year; and from jogger
to international hopeful, one for everyone to enjoy. There is a course record to beat if you
are interested and prizes to be won; however, everyone gets a certificate no matter how long it takes one to
finish. After the race, all of the facilities of the major naturist site are available to enjoy.</p>
<p>Conveniently close to the M25 and easy to get to, this is the race to experience if you are new
to nude running and would simply like to try.</p>

<p>
<font size=3>July 2002 witnessed the first organized nude demonstration run in
<a href="SpainMap.html" TITLE="Map & opening day photo." TARGET_"BLANK">Pamplona</a>, Spain to provide an alternative
to the allegedly cruel Running of the Bulls and bloodly bullfight aftermath. (Steakfest?)
The protest is held one day before the start of the festival of San Fermin; and two days prior to the start
of the festival's daily bull runs.</font></p>
<p><font size=3>In 2002, some of the 25 original demonstrators wore the traditional white clothes and red scarves of the bull runners;
but most participated seminude or in just the skin they were born in. This run (where the participants actually
jog or walk) is reported by the organizers to be a fun event in which you can go nude and stand up for the humane
treatment of animals.</font></p>
<p><font size=3>For 2003, a reported 150 protesters showed up, many of whom partially or totally stripped;
but a line of police solidly blocked their demonstration run making it ineffective. Authorities claimed
that the demonstration wasn't authorized. About 20 men and women did an alternative strip down protest
near the center of Pamplona.</font></p>
<p><font size=3>In 2004, a reported 300+ protesters participated (about 100 were native Spaniards).
Being denied a demonstration permit from the Pamplona town hall, a PETA attorney reportedly acquired one from the regional
government with a cave-in proviso that the demonstrators would not bare all.
As a result there wasn't any total nudity during the PETA run; only some topless and scanty clad demonstrators.
Although this agreement was allegedly known to PETA a couple of weeks before the event, PETA appears to have intentionally
withheld this no nudity agreement from many demonstrators (who came to demonstrate naked) until after their arrival in
Pamplona. — Perhaps PETA should be more concerned about <font color="#333333"><b>P</b></font>ETA's
<font color="#333333"><b>E</b></font>thical <font color="#333333"><b>T</b></font>reatment of <font color="#333333">
<b>A</b></font>llies.</font></p>
<p><font size=3>In 2005, PETA was armed with a Navarra court authorization (June 28, 2005) allowing their
Pamplona demonstration, provided that it
"does not affect <a href="PETAcheerleader.html" TITLE="Getting prepared." TARGET_"BLANK">good civic customs</a>."
PETA turned out what one police source generously estimated were 500 demonstrators, some of whom were dressed down
to their underpants. A count from wire service photos places the number to be closer to half of the police estimate;
far short of the PETA's prerun estimate of 600 in which the police were apparently attempting to justify their preparations
for.</font></p>
<p>
<img src="BullHorns.jpg" width=134 height=120 border=2 align=left hspace=10 vspace=0 alt="By the horns.">
<font size=3>For 2006, PETA claimed 700 marched. Police said there were 500 to 600. Photos show that the underwear
troupe had less than 500. A 31-year-old American, Ray Ducharme of Charlotte, N.C., was thrown by a young cow in a mock
bullfight at the bullring following the first bull run. He underwent a 90-minute operation to reattach two vertebrae.</font></p>
<p><font size=3>PETA claims that protesters from more than 30 countries participated in their 2007 event.
<p>
<img src="FishyPETA.jpg" width=128 height=103 border=2 align=right hspace=10 vspace=0 alt="PETA">
<font size=3>PETA advises that fish are also our friends. That we should not eat fish either.
(Perhaps too much watching of Nemo?) PETA also took on Girl Scout Troop 34 of Fairbanks, Alaska in 2003 for
hunting beaver dens and laying traps in order to cook beaver meat and make hats and mittens from the hides.
PETA suffered a major defeat as their public protest back-fired and some Alaskans countered the intrusion of the
Virginia based group by slaughtering extra beavers and sending the pelts to the girls.
(<b>P</b>ETA <b>E</b>ncountering <b>T</b>esty <b>A</b>laskans)</font></p>
<p><font size=3>In April 2005, PETA also lost an assinine false-advertising lawsuit against the California Milk Producers Advisory Board funded by
farmers. PETA took issue against the Board's ads showing cows grazing in green pastures with the slogan,
<i>"Great cheese comes from happy cows. Happy cows come from California."</i> PETA took their complaint all the way to the state's
Supreme Court that it may never be known that cows are happy; that they live in deplorable conditions; and that the ads
falsely portray the lives of California cows. </font> <font size=2>(Editor's note: Who cares?!! I love defenseless animals,
especially in a good gravy. Question: If a cow laughed, would milk come out of its nose?)
<!-- enjoy a cold glass of Happy Milk while gobbling down some tasty beef.) --> </font></p>
<p>
<img src="PETAunderwear.jpg" width=225 height=139 border=2 align=left hspace=10 vspace=0 alt="PETA">
<font size=3>Even after the 2004 Pamplona nude sell out betrayal, and the Navarra ruling, PETA continues to promote their
Pamplona event on their Web site as a demonstration of the "Running of the Nudes." A misrepresentation of full nudity.</font></p>
<p><font size=3>For 2008, PETA says the demonstrators will be back two days before the 7-days of bull runs which are always
started on July 7th during the centuries-old 204-hour-long festival which begins with a ceremony July 6th called <i>chupinazo,</i>
where a small rocket is shot from a balcony over the main square to commence the beginning of 9-days of street parties in honor
of Pamplona's patron saint, San Fermin.</font></p>
<p><font size=3>The festival of San Fermin is more of a thanksgiving celebration for the bounty of wine than it is for bullfighting.
Pamplona is the capitol of the winemaking region of Navarra and many revelers during the festival stay up spending the nights drinking
red wine or sangria. Pamplona is also just east of Rioja, another world-renowned wine region.</font></p>
<p><font size=3>The 2008 "Human Race" will again attempt to follow the same short 974-yard cobblestone route that the bulls
run which starts in the city's old quarter at the Santo Domingo Corrals and ends at the Plaza de Toros.
Usually six bulls, chosen as the best fighters from Spain's top breeding ranches, and some
weighing over 1,300 pounds (600 kilograms), take part each day in the 8 A.M. bull run called <i>encierro.</i>
These bulls are highly aggressive, intelligent, and possess razor-sharp horns.</font></p>
<center><img src="BullWins.jpg" width=150 height=112 border=2></center>
<br>
<font size=3>They are guided by steers that are used to direct the bulls and to help keep them in a cluster for the three minute run
to the bull ring where later in the afternoon, the bulls are slowly stabbed and bloodily cut to death for festival
entertainment.</font></p>

</center></p>
<p><font size=3>The Running of the Bulls dates back to 1591. Since record-keeping began in 1924, 13 people have
been killed in the bull runs. Another source claims 14 deaths since 1911; no tally on the bulls. As an example,
in 2004, 16 race participants were gored (about normal). The last human death was 22-year-old American, Matthew Tassio,
who was gored to death in 1995. The festival was made internationally famous by Ernest Hemingway's novel <i>The Sun Also
Rises</i>. The 2005 edition of the book paid special tribute to Matthew Tassio, to mark the 10-year anniversary of his death.

<p><font size=3>The weekend will start off Saturday, July 5th, with pentathlon style events.</font></p>
<p><font size=3>Tything Barn 5K Sun Run follows the grass trails around the glades and
lagoons of Tything Barn's 23 acre naturist site in Pembrokeshire, West
Wales. All the indications are for steady growth in
a country where there is no long established tradition of nude running.</font></p>
<p><font size=3>Although there is serious competition for most
entrants, the emphasis is on participation and having fun. All
finishers receive a memento of their achievement and there are prizes for
placed runners. New this year's main prize, the H&E cup, is for the fastest
competitor. The current record currently stands at just over 18
minutes.</font></p>
<p><font size=3>Tything Barn is a wonderful venue for sporting events and the Sunday 5K race
follows grass paths on a three lap course around the perimeter of the site.
Given the spontaneous barbecues and entertainments which have occurred in
previous years, this should be another great weekend.</font></p>
<p><font size=3>Camping and the usual facilities are available at Tything Barn and other
accommodations are available locally. For full information about Tything Barn
and this year's events, contact the race organizer via the

<P>
<font size=3>The race is professionally timed and at the award ceremony plaques are presented to the top

park membership. Runners and guests are encouraged to take advantage of the camping facilities
for $12 per night per adult. Also a pasta dinner is served the night before for $5.</font>

<font size=3>Riverside Ranch has 22 acres on the San Antonio River and is located 23 miles southeast of

<A HREF=http://www.aanr-sw.org/NRS/ TITLE="AANR-South West Region" TARGET="_BLANK">
AANR-SW Nude Racing Series</A>. Riverside pulled out of it's scheduled participation in the 2006 AANR-SW series only
a few months before it held its 2006 race.</font></p>
<p><font size=3><font color="red">Note:</font> It is reported that in June of 2006, Riverside Ranch hosted the AANR-SW
convention. Shortly thereafter, that same month, Riverside Ranch cancelled it's race's participation in the
<A HREF=http://www.aanr-sw.org/NRS/ TITLE="AANR-South West Region" TARGET="_BLANK">
AANR-SW Nude Racing Series</A>. This was also followed by the drastic cancellation of its association with the AANR.
The reason given is that this nudist resort became upset with the direction of AANR's marketing strategy and with
swingers and other sexually open individuals using AANR membership cards. Riverside Ranch expects to hosts an
independent nude run in July 2008.</font></p>
