Traverse City, MI
This is a holiday fun run that starts at the Fleet Feet downtown store in Traverse City. Participants dress in Santa suits and head out together at their own pace, with the run supporting the Cherryland Humane Society. The route is less about racing and more about the spectacle of a crowd of Santas moving through the streets.
