Santa Speedo Run

Santa Speedo Run!

Each year since 2011, hundreds of participants have spent a December afternoon running through the heart of East Lakeview in Chicago, clad in nothing more than Santa hats, speedos and other holiday attire.

Why?

Because it’s great fun and raises funds for a great cause, Center on Halsted. The Center is the Midwest's most comprehensive community center dedicated to advancing community and securing the health and well-being of LGBTQ people across Chicagoland.

The Santa Speedo Run promises fun for all! You can race through East Lakeview clad in nothing but your skivvies and a smile, or you can watch the spectacle while dressed sensibly for December in Chicago.
