Atlanta Santa Speedo Run

Now in its eighth year, the Atlanta Santa Speedo Run will take runners from the famed Manuel’s Tavern through North Highland Avenue to the heart of the popular neighborhood, passing such popular eateries and watering holes as Hand In Hand, Atkins Park, Murphy’s, Yeah Burger and Diesel, amongst others.

Since its inception in 2009, the Atlanta Santa Speedo Run has raised more than $500,000 for local Atlanta children’s charities.  Past recipients have included Bert’s Big Adventure, Camp Twin Lakes and Blaze Sports. The Santa Speedo Run was originally started in Boston in 2000 by five friends in search of a little holiday fun.

For the 2016 race, the Atlanta Santa Speedo Run is collaborating with CHRIS 180 (formerly known as CHRIS Kids) to raise $100,000. CHRIS 180’s mission is to heal children, strengthen families and build community through mental health counseling, training, providing safe housing and services that help youth build real-world skills.

To participate in the festive act of philanthropy, all race participants are asked to raise a minimum $250 in support of CHRIS 180. Wearing a Speedo or similar holiday-themed attire is required and runners are encouraged to accessorize with holiday themed flair such as Santa hats, beards, stockings and other festive accents. There is a $25 registration fee.
