(Des Moines, IA) -- Around 800 Santas will come to town in a bit of a different way this weekend. They'll be running a 5k in Des Moines' East Village tomorrow morning.
Andy Roat owns Fleet Feet Des Moines who puts on the run.
"We're giving away Santa suits," Roat says. "We have, like, 30 boxes of Santa suits."
It's open to all, even if you're not a runner. The run and walk begins and ends at E. 6th and Walnut Streets.
"Seeing that many people in a Santa suit just has to put a smile on your face," Roat says.
A portion of the proceeds from registration fees goes to one of five charities in the Des Moines area.
