Utah Undie Run organizer Nate Porter says the event was organized to draw attention to the conservative nature of the state’s politics. Some people scrawled messages of support for same-sex marriage on their bodies.
The run began in downtown Salt Lake City, a city home to the Mormon church, a vocal opponent of same-sex marriage, and circled past the state Capitol building about a mile away.
In Feburary, 500 people ran through Washington in their undies to raise money for charity.
