Santa Speedo run in Boston

The Santa Speedo Run is basically a fun run to spread holiday cheer by having participants run through Boston wearing only Santa hats and Speedos. Since it began in 2000 the Santa Speedo Run has raised more than $1.6-million for charity.

BOSTON (WBTS) - Santa came to the town of Boston Saturday morning using a different red sleigh and wearing a much smaller red suit.

About 700 runners dashed through the falling snow as it hit the streets of Back Bay for the 18th Annual Santa Speedo Run.

The festive runners spread holiday cheer by dressing in Santa hats, red Speedo bathing suits, and other jolly jogging apparel.

The race supports the Play Ball Foundation, which provides Boston middle schools students with a chance to play and build friendships through sports.

So far, the event has raised almost two million dollars.
