Variety Children's Charity has been doing this for a few years, but this is the first year in LA. I'm going to do it with a bunch of people from work.

Great cause, good exercise, and a super sweaty Santa suit... what else could you want in a Saturday morning?

    Very cool! Are the suits washable, do you think? Or do you have to get a new suit every time you do this? :wink:

    Our gym do one of these every year but it's usually during working hours! This year it's on a Sunday so I'm up for it!!

    You get a free suit for every run over here in the UK :)

    The suit is included in the charity donation you make to be a part of the run. I'm pretty sure you can wash them for use later.

    Sounds super fun! I'm training for my first 5k, need to check if there's an event in my area. You'll have to post a photo of the event:wink:

    Its great fun, Me and my hubby dressed as santa last year with our two girls, dressed as christmas puddings, we ran a mile (for the british heart foundation) and it started snowing halfway through. It was nice for the kids but at 2 & 3 they were confused at seeing 1000 santas running around!

    Its nice to see so many people doing something good for charity at what's a really expensive and often selfish time of year.
