Dozens take part in underpants run by Danube river

(22 Feb 2020) Dozens of running enthusiasts wearing nothing but underwear and jogging shoes took part in a race along the Danube river in Belgrade on Saturday.

Under a blue and sunny sky, the disrobed participants braced temperatures of 8 degrees C (46.4 F) to run 1.6 kilometres (0.9 miles) by the river.

One of the runners, Stefan Mihajlovic, said he took part in the event because he likes the idea of encouraging Serbia's youth to do sports.

Djordje Zivanovic, another participant, said he merely participated for fun.

The event was organised by the Belgrade Racing Club, and was the fourth of its kind.
