The Great Santa Run

This last weekend in Las Vegas was the Great Santa Run. Basically, they get everyone they can to come out for a charity event and everyone dresses as Santa and then either runs a 5k or walks a mile. This year was huge because we were trying to beat London for the World Record held for the most Santas gathered in one location. Last year, Vegas fell short because of some counting issues. But this year....

SANTA RUN: Ho, ho, holy cow! Locals set a Guinness world record Saturday morning when they turned out by the score downtown for The Las Vegas Great Santa Run. The running tally: 7,123 officially registered, Santa-suit-wearing participants.

The best part is that proceeds from the event went to benefit Opportunity Village.

So, we are part of a World Record! So cool!
