130 Photos of Santa Speedo Run Prove Chicago Is Lovely in December

The cold outside was frightful, but the party inside was delightful!

Sidetrack Chicago recently hosted a party of over 900, who came to cheer the runners who braved the weather for a mile run through Boystown. Founded and led by partners Jeff Colgan and Karl Sponholtz, this year's 9th annual Speedo Run and Party was hosted by Dixie Lynn Cartwright, and supported by sponsors Miller Lite, Tito's Vodka and Sidetrack along with Lyft and Men's Room Chicago. All the money raised — tens of thousands! — goes to the Center on Halsted, the city's LGBTQ community center. Check out all the fun in these galleries! To learn more check out sidetrackchicago.com
