For 25 years it’s been a tradition here in Kona for athletes to shake off some of their pre-race nerves with the Under Pants Run. Today was no different as over 1,000 athletes took part in the (very much) fun run! Triathlon Magazine was on hand to gather up some photos from the morning’s festivities, including the traditional pledge that gets things started:
