Santa Claus is running through town

Your vision is fine... there really were 1,000 Santa's running down Collingwood streets this morning.

White pom poms on red hats bobbed along Collingwood streets this morning as more than 1,000 runners and walkers dressed in head-to-toe Santa Claus suits participated in the HoHoHoliday 5K 

Organized by 365 Sports, this holiday fun run is heavy on the "fun" with Santa suits for everyone. The race registration reached sold -out status, and that's a lot of fake beards hanging around the necks of the runners. 

Registration was open to all ages and the Santas gathered in the Pine Street parking lot where the start and finish line were set up. 

Today is the official launch of the Christmas season in Collingwood with the Santa Claus Parade tonight at 5 p.m. on Hurontario Street. 

Enjoy these photos from the HoHoHoliday 5K.
