Santa Hustle 5K & Kids Dash at Navy Pier THIS Saturday!

The Chicago Santa Hustle 5K and Kids Dash is back and more festive than ever, now taking place at Navy Pier for its second consecutive year on Saturday, December 7! After years at Soldier Field, this beloved event now begins and ends at the “People’s Pier” along Chicago’s scenic lakefront. Event proceeds will benefit Cal’s Angels, a nonprofit organization that supports children who are battling cancer, along with their families.

The day kicks off with the Kids Dash at 8:30 a.m. for children ages 2-10, followed by the 5K at 9 a.m. Participants will enjoy a course filled with holiday music and cookie and candy stations at the finish line.

Adult participants can still register and will receive ugly sweater themed long-sleeved shirts and beanies, or upgrade to Santa or Mrs. Claus costumes for even more festive flair. Every finisher will receive a custom Santa Hustle medal, while top male and female finishers in each age category will earn special awards.

“We are thrilled to bring Santa Hustle back to Navy Pier,” said Randi Schooley, event producer of the Santa Hustle Race Series. “This event creates lasting memories and new traditions for families and friends, all while supporting an incredible cause.”

This year, the after party will be the largest in the event’s history, spanning several Navy Pier locations. Participants can enjoy convenient discounted parking and exclusive restaurant savings, making it easy to spend the entire day celebrating the upcoming holidays.

Santa Hustle has proudly partnered with Cal’s Angels for this event, an organization that has donated more than $1 million to local hospitals and granted more than 125,000 toys to pediatric cancer patients through its “Grant a Wish” program.
