Yes, it did happen at UofM, and it was just the Law School after finals. No, none of the runners looked like the people in the movie. It does still take place, on a smaller scale and they don't publicize it so that the police won't arrest the participants.

Yes. Ann Arbor, MI is more or less a hippy town. They also have a hash bash, sort of an art fair with pot. The city doesn't run either of these, but nor does it shut them down.

UCLA does an underwear run every year. my myspace friends go there and they posted pics of it.

The Naked Mile was a University of Michigan institution for years. It was started by members of the rowing or swim team who got drunk one night and decided to run naked through the campus. The tradition grew quickly and up to 1,500 naked co-eds ran through town.

Other schools had naked runs just before finals or at the first snowfall, but U of M was the biggie.

It was halted by school officials about seven years ago, allegedly because it had gotten too big and expensive for the town to keep an eye on it.

But most people think the real reason was because some video company was filming each running then selling videotapes online. It wasn't Girls Gone Wild, but something similar.

I graduated UofM in 2001 and it still existed then, I'm sad to hear its been cancelled, however it was kind of 'pervy.' There were so many people crowded around watching that on a two lane street there would be so many people that the runners could only run single file through the crowd. And the crowd was made up of a lot more than students, there were tons of old guys with cameras and video cameras, dirty bastards. The run would start on University ave. around Forest or Church and end at the student union. This movie was filmed in Toronto, btw. One thing they didnt include in the movie (because its just not as sexy) is that lots of the girls would wear saran wrap on their chests. The 'bigger' girls would do this because otherwise it hurts to run, the smaller girls that did this probably did so because they wanted to be less naked, heh. Also lots of people wore backpacks for the run which they put their clothes in. Considering Michigan's naked mile is actually called 'The naked mile,' this movie is supposed to be taking place at UofM (its mentioned in the deleted scenes), and the original creator of the American Pie movies was either a UofM student or recent graduate, I think it's safe to say this movie was modeled after the naked mile that used to be at UofM.

It is indeed based on the University of Michigan Naked Mile, which was the most famous in the country. It started in the 80's, peaked in the 90's, and continued until 2004. (I ran it in 1995.)

I know the general trends b/c I studied at UM from 1986-1990 as an undergrad, and from 1992-1995 as a grad student. I didn't hear much about it in the 80's (when it was initially just a hockey team tradition), but it was huge by 1992, and remained so at least through 1995.

We know this is the event/school the movie is based on, b/c the original American Pie was set in Michigan, as was the first sequel (on Lake Michigan), and the author is from Michigan. If you watch the first film, they talk about traveling to other Michigan cities.

It was not filmed on campus, but there are apparently some references to the school in deleted scenes. I think I recall seeing a still-shot with UM colors/symbols in it.
