A large crowd of people, viewed from behind, are all wearing full Santa suits—red jackets, trousers, and hats with white trim—suggesting a Santa Fun Run or Charity event. The photograph is taken outdoors under a slightly overcast sky, with the focus on the backs of the participants who are gathered closely together. One participant in the center has a race number "60" pinned to the back of their suit, and the person on the right has a white race bib hanging down. The background is blurred, showing bare trees against the pale sky and hints of a path or field in front of them.
