Chicago Santa Speedo Run: Open Bar and Speedos
Have you ever wondered what your co-worker would look like in a Speedo or bathing suit? Here's the perfect solution. The Chicago Santa Speedo Run will have participants running in almost nothing at all for the sake of raising money for the Chicago Diabetes Project. Not only will you avoid getting slapped, but now that cute girl or guy in the cubicle over will see you as a paragon of virtue and charity. The event begins at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday morning at Shenanigans on 16 W. Division Street. After a three hour open bar at Shenanigans, the 1 mile race will saunter down Rush street and fly back up Michigan Avenue.
The race was started by Annie Hemmesch, a type 1 diabetic, who now organizes the event. Last year, over 150 runners came to strut their stuff. Hemmesch is hoping to double that number this year.
Brave runners can sign-up for "Early Speedo Registration" before the event at the cost of $35. Last minute runners can register at Shenanigans for $40. Though "speedos are encouraged, you don't have to run or wear a speedo...as long as its festive," but why would you want to do it any other way?
The Chicago Santa Speedo Run will begin at:
