CLEVELAND, Ohio — Cold temperatures again didn’t discourage more than 600 barely dressed participants from running, walking and prancing through downtown Cleveland for charity Saturday in the 5th annual Cupid’s Undie Run.

The event — a “brief” fun run — raises money for the Children’s Tumor Foundation to fight neurofibromatosis, a debilitating genetic disorder. It’s timed to Valentine’s Day, which provided the theme and colors for much of the skimpy attire.

The race started with a two-hour warmup party at the House of Blues, headed east on Euclid Avenue to East Ninth Street, then south to Prospect Avenue and west to East Fourth Street and the House of Blues for another warmup.

Cupid’s Undie Run has grown to 47 cities internationally and raised $11 million for the Children’s Tumor Foundation since it started.
