Atlanta Santa Speedo Run returns to Midtown on Saturday, Dec. 6, with participants stripping down and braving the cold for charity.

Festivities kick off at noon at Politon Row at Colony Square before the run starts at 2 p.m.

Hundreds of participants dressed in festive holiday swimwear and creative costumes will run a one-mile fun course through Midtown to raise funds and awareness for Joining Hearts.

Joining Hearts is an Atlanta-based nonprofit supporting people impacted by HIV/AIDS through prevention, care, housing assistance, and community partnerships. For nearly four decades, Joining Hearts has raised millions of dollars to strengthen organizations providing essential services across Atlanta.
