On a sunny Saturday afternoon with temperatures in the mid 50s, nearly 200 runners gathered at Art Marble 21 in South Lake Union for the 2016 Cupid's Undie Run to raise money for the Children's Tumor Foundation (CTF). In 2015, CTF raised $3.5 million during the undie run for research to end neurofibromatosis, and this year they were hoping to raise $5 million. The run occurred in 36 cities across the country and three cities in Australia.
