Organizers say a Speedo-like bathing suit (in holiday colors) is suggested, but no thongs, please. They suggest wearing your suit beneath your clothes to strip down as the run begins. Also wear sneakers. Runners are welcome to wear Santa beards and other holiday flair.

All registered runners receive an event T-shirt, a Santa hat, and a finishers' medal.
