Hundreds put on their tightest speedos and braved the cold temperatures (weather.com informs me it's 32F but feels like 21F out) to run through the streets of Back Bay to raise money for local charities. Last year, approximately $10,000 was raised. Click here to view photos from the 2008 Santa Speedo Run put together by the folks at Boston.com.
This year's run raised money for Crossroads for Kids and Bottom Line. My photos are definitely not as good as the ones linked to above (hey! it's hard being the shortest person in the crowd!), but here's what I got:

(high-fives all around)
(more high-fiving)
(Double trouble: This lady had "Baby on Board" written on her. I wonder if she'll bring the kid along next year)
(Santa's very synchronized helpers)
(good times all around)
