Yes. Naked Mile - A notorious event where students would run naked through the streets once a year at the end of the University of Michigan winter semester in April. The police and the University started to crack down on it in 2000, citing safety concerns.[3] As a result participants have been forced to adapt, and the event has not been discontinued completely. In 2002, participants have been wearing underwear. In 2003, there were only five to seven runners, all of whom were arrested. In 2004, the event was held a day earlier with an alternative route. Upset by what they consider the draconian suppression of the Naked Mile, the thirteen runners and one naked bicyclist managed to avoid arrest. In 2005, the Naked Mile was replaced with the Painted Mile, in which scantily clad and naked runners painted their bodies to hide any explicit nudity. As of 2007, however, the former tradition has all but disappeared, as very few current undergraduate students have even witnessed a Naked Mile when it was in its heyday.
