AANR-Southwest Racing Series Heats Up
Race

The 2012 AANR-Southwest Nude Racing Series consists of clothing-optional 5K runs at five participating  

AANR-Southwest clubs.  

 

Although many runners compete for points and awards, there are scores who choose to run nude just for the sheer fun of it. Each club participating in the Series organizes and stages its own race. Awards presented by a club are separate from the series awards. The age groups used by a club may be different than the series age groups.

Club Corner--SCNA
SCNA

The Southern California Naturist Association (SCNA) is a nonlanded club servicing the greater Los Angeles area. Incorporated as a 501 c (7) non-profit, SCNA recently celebrated its tenth anniversary.   

 

The club is run by a 7-person Board of Directors, all volunteers, elected annually by the members. Membership is open to persons age 18+, singles, couples, families, gay and straight, and most tattoos and body piercings are also allowed.

 

SCNA hosts backyard swim parties, weekend nude sailing off the coast during the summer, and nude hiking trips, nude yoga classes, and visits to nearby nudist parks.  SCNA leaders are active preserving and expanding the nude beaches in the region. In 2011, SCNA established a co-membership agreement with both Deer Park and Glen Eden that benefits all three clubs.

 

SCNA promotes nude recreation through its community outreach to local colleges, and by being active in the local Chamber of Commerce.  The club is proud of its extensive website  that gets nearly 3 million page hits/year. This year, SCNA is producing our first nudist-themed play, which will have its premier June 9.

 

SCNA hosts five monthly Meet-up dinners in restaurants around LA each month where interested newcomers can meet members and ask questions before they are invited to join any nudist activity.  For more information call SCNA at (818) 225-2273.
