Morphology
The meaning 'an act of running naked' is directly and compositionally derivable from combining 'nudie' (someone with no clothes) with 'run' (an act of running), with 'run' nominalized to denote the event. This straightforward compound/phrase pattern is common and would be understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituent words (noting 'nudie' is colloquial).
Etymology
The noun nudie run comes from college and party pranks where people would run across a field or campus naked as a 'dare'. The word nudie is short for 'nude' and run is the literal action, so the picture of people running naked explains why it now means an act of running naked in public for fun or a prank.
