Rumours of a nude run taking place through Preston city centre have been quashed.

A Facebook Event was recently created, informing people that the run will be happening in two months time, with the course yet to be confirmed.

However, Preston City Council have released a statement saying the event is not taking place at all.

The City of Preston Facebook page created the event, stating that to take part you will have to purchase a day pass for November 26th at a cost of £15 for members of British Naturism or the International Naturist Federation, and £20 for non-members.
