Nakukymppi is a nude sport event in Finland, held in the municipality of Padasjoki one week before Midsummer every year.
The idea of Nakukymppi is to run or walk a pre-set route with a total distance of 10 kilometres, completely naked. Participants are only allowed to wear shoes, socks and possible headwear. The only exception is that women may be allowed to wear a top if they feel their breasts are shaking too much.
The event is open for everyone interested in nude sport and is free of charge. It has been held annually since 2003. It usually draws about 40 to 50 participants, of which about one-tenth to one-fifth are women. The event is covered in Finnish newspapers almost nationwide.
Even though the event isn't a naturist event (i.e. not organised by naturists and not only for naturists), about half of the participants are naturists, who consider the event very naturist in spirit.
