Naked Pumpkin Runners Get Ticketed In Colorado

Boulder police have ticketed more than a dozen people for running naked on the streets while sporting freshly gutted pumpkins on their heads as part of an annual Halloween event.

The citations for indecent exposure Friday night came as dozens of other costumed revelers, including a man with only a red cape and a sword, chanted to police officers to let go of the streakers and 'find real criminals'.

The event known in Boulder as the 'Naked Pumpkin Run' has been held for 10 years but been growing in popularity every year. This year it drew a huge crowd, prompting concern from police.

Boulder police Chief Mark Beckner says officers "wanted to do something before it got out of hand."

Below are a few photos from the event:
