Get on Santa’s “Nice” List and Join Santa Hustle Chicago!

Grab a group and join the jolly fun at the Chicago Santa Hustle 5K and Kids Dash Saturday, December 2 at Chicago’s Soldier Field. The event kicks off at 8:30 a.m. when youth participants will dash through the course, followed by the 5K at 9 a.m. Individuals who register for either race through July receive $15 off registration. Event proceeds will benefit the nonprofit, Cal’s Angels.

Adult participants can jingle all the way to the finish line in fleece hoodies and headbands included with registration, and they can add a Santa or Mrs. Claus costume to their registration. Cookie and candy stations, along with holiday music and cheer, will fill the course along Chicago’s beautiful lakefront.

“This event has something for everyone, no matter their age or fitness level,” said Aaron Del Mar, ASE founder. “Runners, walkers, and even moms and dads with little ones in strollers are all invited to participate and create new holiday traditions.”

Since the holiday season is the perfect time to give back, event proceeds will benefit nonprofit Cal's Angels. Cal’s Angels provides assistance and programs for families that have children struggling with cancer. The organization has donated more than $1 million to local hospitals and distributed more than 125,000 toys through their “Grant a Wish” program.

Awards and customized Santa Hustle medals will be given to the top three male and female finishers in each age group, and all participants who cross the finish line will receive a finishers medal.
