ALBANY, N.Y. -- It's a tradition in the Capital Region that helps raise money for the Albany Damien Center. Many Santas run through Albany in Speedos.

The event is hosted by the Albany Society for the Advancement of Philanthropy as part of Winter WonderLark.

The 4th Annual Santa Speedo Sprint kicks off at 2 this afternoon.
It's an 800 meter race with all donations going to the Albany Damien Center.

Last year more than 170 Santas participated.
