VIDEO: Third Annual Arlington Heights Rotary 5K Santa Run 2010.
A light snow, green awnings with a fresh covering of snow, and an army of Santas in red Santa suits marching East to the starting line of the 3rd Annual Rotary 5K Santa Run made a magical location out of Campbell Street and Vail Avenue Saturday morning.
Official starters for the run/walk were Santa Claus and Mayor Arlene Mulder. Whether you’re a runner, a walker or fan of Santa Claus, this morning event in early December is the place to be. Bing Crosby (White Christmas in Holiday Inn fame) and George Bailey (James Stewart of It’s a Wonderful Life) would have fit right in this cozy, old-fashioned setting in downtown Arlington Heights.
About 1,400 runners and walkers participated in the event, dressed in Santa suits and various accessories, including sunglasses, big beards, little beards, skinny beards, antlers and more. The event raised money for Rotary’s local and international charities.
