After a challenging year – even at the North Pole – Indianapolis Santa Hustle is bringing back the love after a full year away, with its 11th annual Santa Hustle 5K, Half Marathon and Kids Dash Sunday, December 5 at White River State Park! Runners and walkers are warmly invited to join this magical and nostalgic holiday-themed event. Santa Hustle registration includes a Santa hat, beard, a gift-shaped finisher’s medal and a women’s or unisex hoodie.

In addition to loads of holiday togetherness and fun for ‘Santa Hustlers’, Santa Hustle Race Series, LLC, also gives back. A portion of the proceeds for this event will be donated to Little Red Door Cancer Agency – an organization dedicated to making the most of life and the least of cancer.

Whether naughty or nice, participants can indulge themselves at cookie, candy and hot chocolate stations along the course to fuel their holiday cheer! Holiday music will be playing to keep all spirits bright, and after the last person crosses the finish line, an awards ceremony follows the race with medals for top finishers!
