The bigger issue is not the quality of the camera, but using the flash. The event is at midnight and not very well lit, so a really good photo would need the flash. That draws a lot of attention from the runners. There is no rule against photography (in fact, it's definitely legal to take photos, as per the police), but you may attract an angry mob of naked people. Better bet is to get very high ISO and not use the flash.
Yes, I think there will be lots of bush this year.

Flash or no flash, the runners would still see someone holding an SLR?. I don't understand why the runners would be annoyed or get angry at someone taking pics? They are running naked in public, surely they know this is going to attract attention and as expected people will film/photo it. I bet it goes all over snapchat etc, so how they'd be pissed at some pics with a flash is beyond me (unless you are meaning the flash would possibly distract them running?) as pics with high ISO or flash have the same outcome; pics are still taken, just means it's clearer with flash. I wish they'd embrace it and pose like WNBR.

I have a good feeling some good footage will surface. Will check back here in a week :)

i heard there will be a lot of flashing :D

Interested.
 

I’m interested if anyone goes
To report back what they see

Right, there is nothing illegal about taking pictures of people naked in public. You have no expectation of privacy in a public place, and even if it's a privately owned building, the owner of the building would have to specifically forbid cameras. You're not doing anything wrong if you record the event or take pictures.

The runners are the one taking that risk by running around naked in public. At the very least, if you want to record or take pictures but not deal with the "stigma" or annoyed glares from people running, there are many apps out there that let you use your camera on your phone to record with the screen off.

Yes, it's at the end of the 7th, the midnight before finals start.

UC Berkeley run this Friday
 

Anyone going to that one?

You can't just walk on campus without a student i.d. can you? Won't security stop you?

There are no gates here and the event takes place outdoors. As long as you don't do something illegal, the police and security won't stop you. They are there to make sure no one touches the naked people, and that if someone falls or gets hurt they get medical attention.

I just streaked UNC. Plenty of filming going on, and there were definitely non-students with phones out. I'd expect videos to surface. Also fantastic girls this year
