December 5
Forget ugly sweaters. Chicago’s Most Fabulous Santa Speedo Run proves the best way to spread holiday cheer is to show a little skin. Every December, hundreds of barely dressed Santas take to the chilly streets of Chicago for a festive dash through Northalsted, all in support of the local LGBTQ+ community. Expect red Speedos, Santa hats, questionable amounts of exposed skin, and plenty of packages that won’t fit under the tree. The fun continues at Sidetrack with music, drinks, and post-run celebrations. Whether you’re running, cheering, or just admiring the scenery, it’s holiday giving with a whole lot of receiving.
