LOL! Loved this post!! I have a secret desire to run some of the trails around here stark naked but I totally don't have the guts. Considered stripping while running and stashing my clothes behind a tree just in case I needed my clothes handy. Ha! You have serious RESPECT in my book, man.
Why not run naked with a backpack carrying your clothes...just in case you need them in a hurry? 
Oh, and you can wear a sack over your head, so no one will know who you are! Ha! 
Would that still be considered nudity, Ahcuah?! Ha!

I hike with a kilt that has velcro closures, so if I need to I can wrap up quickly.
It's not a secret anymore.

As Grand High Poobah of All Things Nude, I hereby proclaim that if you are wearing a sack over your head, then you are not nude. For a backpack, I don't know. When I've hiked nude, I have carried a ditty bag in my hand.
Back to the sack--they won't know who you are unless arrested. Then they'll know.
However, if you were to run by somebody on a trail completely nude, I suspect they'd be more shocked by the bare feet!
The responses to your blog are interesting. Kind of surprises me that they are such a divisive group. I thought they were more accepting. Having watched the movement from the outside (i.e. never been to a nude beach or resort, etc), I see the following: Modern nudists seem to be way different from those of the 1920s and 30s. Those early nudists were all about body, soul and a healthy lifestyle. Body acceptance meant accepting one's own and other's imperfections. To use an over-used phrase, they took holistic approach to health and life. Now it seems that (body) acceptance means "I accept that you are fat and unhealthy and have no intention of doing anything about it because I am too. But hey, we're naked! Please hand me my diabetes medicine and a doughnut." From what I understand, the modern movement is aging with few young people joining in. It's quite possible that it will collapse under its own weight (pun intended).
Where would one find these clothing-optional runs? Just, you know, curious.
I found some here http://nuderuns.com/

i've noticed that. i think it would be funny to go there naked and tease everyone for not being fully nude.
Oh trust me, I have been compiling a demographic of the average person who runs barefoot and nudist/closest nudist/going-to-try-to-be-a-nudist-before-I-die are in EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU!!!
And since you're the one who sent it to me (you are apparently the closet nude) then you should come and tease them!!!

Man, I'm two months too late. Maybe next year, but I guess the rules are it didn't happen.

In all fairness to them, it's not advertised as a naked run, but a "bare buns" run. Which I guess you can still qualify for with shoes on.
Longboard, Turtle Lakes's about a 5 hour drive for me - I'd be willing to give it a shot next year if we could get a group of barefooters together. Sounds like fun! (No photos, but if we get a group we at least have witnesses!)
