Hundreds participated in the fifth annual Run Santa Run 5K. Runners set off on a tour of downtown Madison and had the option to stop at three holiday stations along the way.
Runners could sign up as an elf, Santa, reindeer or a tree. Many participants were very creative with their characters and even added fun accessories to accompany their runner shirts.
A portion of the proceeds from the run went to local Dane County charities.
Some ran with their furry friends and decked them out in holiday gear as well.
