streaker

Unclothed public sprinter

A streaker is a person who runs naked through a public place, typically as a prank or for attention.

The practice became a fad in the 1970s, especially at sporting events and college campuses: A streaker ran across the field during the fourth quarter.

The verb streak and the activity streaking derive from the same impulse—a flash of bare flesh moving quickly past.
