Join us Saturday, December 3rd, for the 11th Annual Santa Speedo Run at Sidetrack, benefiting Center On Halsted! Step 1: FORM A TEAM
Call up a few friends and decide to form your own Santa Speedo Run Team for 2022 or decide to run as an individual. Step 2: REGISTER ONLINE
Go to https://santaspeedorun.centeronhalsted.org to register your team (or to register as an individual). If you register as a team, you will have the ability to add or remove team members later. We are asking for a $35 donation per person to help get your fundraising started. You will be able to copy and paste a link to your personal page, or team page that can be posted on social media. Step 3: SHOPPING FOR A SPEEDO
If you don’t already have a speedo and holiday gear, we recommend shopping at the Men’s Room on Halsted where you’ll receive a 25% discount when you mention “Santa Speedo Run.” Be sure to post photos of your team or individual outfits online to encourage donations from your friends and family. Step 4: MEET AT SIDETRACK
