Digital Reporter
Saturday, December 12, 2015, 4:13 PM - Choosing an outfit for a holiday rendezvous can be difficult, but it certainly wasn't for these brave participants.
The weather conditions were ideal for the 10th annual Toronto Santa Speedo Run. Although there was some drizzle and overcast skies, the temperature sat at a balmy 8oC.
Dressed in red and white bathing suits, participants began their 3-kilometre route Saturday afternoon at Hemingway's Restaurant, running through the Bloor-Yorkville area.
Since 2005, the run has raised over $285,000 for SickKids Hospital in Toronto.
Here are a few photos from the event:
