Races typically have lengthy rules and regulations regarding conduct of participants to keep runners safe and inform them of any specifics.
This trail race in particular figured it would get creative and provide an incentive for participants to read the regulations before running.

The Trilhos do Paleozóico, a trail race with distances ranging from 12K to 48K, has the following race regulation (rule 1.7), which, from Portuguese to English, translates the following:
“Since no one reads the regulations, all athletes will have to run the race completely naked.”
