STREAK FOR TIGERS at the London Zoo '15

*Warning: AL JAZEERA AMERICA presentation*


You can run as nature intended or get messy with tiger-themed body paint  London Zoo is asking people to swap their clothes for tigerstripe body paint in a naked charity jog around the wildlife park. 

Ears optional ZSL London Zoo came up with the cheeky stunt in 2013, because a group of tigers is called a ‘streak’. 

This year’s fundraising run will take place on Thursday August 13, when 300 joggers will be invited to unleash their inner animal and prowl as nature intended to raise money for global conservation projects. The bare-bottomed jog around the zoo is certainly a unique way to enjoy ZSL’s wildlife - and if you suddenly feel shy, zoo staff will be handing out tiger masks so you can hide one pair of cheeks. Ali Corbett, Challenge Events Manager, at ZSL, said: 

“We can’t wait to welcome racy runners to ZSL London Zoo for the only official streak in London! The fun run last 10-15 minutes but should be an event you'll remember for the rest of your life! 

“Over the past two years the risqué run has raised more than £115k for tiger conservation, and we’re hoping this year we can inspire courageous cat-lovers to bare all and help us raise even more funds to continue our work for wildlife.” If you want to pounce on a place at London’s wildest fun run, you can sign up at www.zsl.org/streak - and family and friends can even get a ticket to watch!
