No shoes, no shirt, no pants, no problem.
This is the deal for nudists headed to the 14th Nude College Greek Athletic Meet on Saturday at the Tallahassee Naturally nudist club in Monticello, near Tallahassee.
"It's a fun thing, to get the feel of being nude," said Paul Levvalley, a spokesman of the event. "You don't have to be a jock." A majority of those attending will probably be first-time nudists, he said.
Both athletes and non-athletes will compete in games based on the ancient Greek Olympics, including javelin throw, discus, long jump and 200-yard dash.
The Olympics will begin at 10 a.m. with registration and practice followed by a demonstration of ancient competition methods at 11 a.m. At 1 p.m., competitions will begin. Entry classifications are male athletes, male non-athletes, female athletes and female non-athletes. Impromptu games are encouraged, Levvalley said.
"FSU traditionally sweeps the victory," Levvalley said. "I'd like to see someone else be competitive."
The University of Florida has supplied one champion, identified only as Keith, in 1998, according to the Tallahassee Naturally Web site.
The event is not clothing-optional; those who attend must be nude. Competitors get in free, while spectators must pay $20 per person or couple.
Participants should bring a beach towel or blanket, sunscreen, food and water for the day, according to a press release. Radios, drugs and excessive drinking are not allowed.
