Santa Speedo Sprint 2015 registration now open
The Albany Santa Speedo Sprint -- now in its tenth year -- is back December 12. And registration is now open.
The sprint is what is sounds like: a bunch of people in holiday-themed underthings running down Lark Street in Albany for charity. The event is organized by the Albany Society for the Advancement of Philanthropy and is a fundraiser for the Albany Damien Center and the HIV/AIDS program at the Albany Medical Center. The sprints have raised more than $125,000 over the years. It's easily one of the happiest events of the year -- a bunch of smiles and a lot of cheering.
Here are photos from last year's sprint.
It's $25 to make the dash, and the first 175 people get a t-shirt. There's also a "super santa sprinter" $100 level that includes a special edition long-sleeve t-shirt. (And non-runners can chip in a donation of their own.)
