If you're looking for a thrilling event, the annual Cupid's Undie Run will surely deliver.
Dashing through the streets in your skivvies is not only a rowdy, raucous sprint, it's one of the best things to do in winter and it also raises tons of money for the Children's Tumor Foundation. After the event, put some clothes on and head to one of the city's best bars with fireplaces to warm up. If scantily-clad fitness isn’t your beat, make sure to check out all of the other sensational NYC events in February, too.

What is the Cupid’s Undie Run?
Every year, brave runners with a flair for exhibitionism hit the streets in dozens of cities for a one-mile run to raise money and awareness of neurofibromatosis (NF), a genetic disorder that causes tumors to grow on nerves throughout the body. The race fundraises for NF research through the Children's Tumor Foundation. The nonprofit has raised more than $21.7 million since 2010.
Where is the Cupid’s Undie Run?
The shenanigans begin at The DL (95 Delancey St.) in the Lower East Side, where participants meet before the one-mile(ish) course. The after-party also goes down at The DL.
