This run starts outside Fleet Feet in downtown Ann Arbor and raises money for Mott Children's Hospital. Participants dress as Santa, so the start line looks like a department store portrait studio gone rogue. The pace is genuinely whatever you want, and the crowd leans toward people who showed up for the costume as much as the miles.
