Santa Hustle Brings Holiday Cheer to Stony Creek Metropark

Make sure to take an “elfie” at the Detroit Santa Hustle 10K, 5K or Kids Dash this coming Saturday, December 14 at Stony Creek Metropark, located at 4300 Main Park Drive in Shelby Township!

Santa Hustle is proud to announce its charity beneficiary is the Huron-Clinton Metroparks Foundation to support its Metroparks and Me initiative, a multi-year effort that aims to break down barriers that limit access to essential health, wellness, education and quality-of-life opportunities.

This first-ever event in Metro Detroit will ring in the holiday season as adult participants “ho ho hustle” to the finish line in holiday themed long-sleeve shirts, with festive beanies – included with registration. Kids Dash registration includes a long-sleeved shirt, Santa hat and beard, race bib and finisher’s medal. Holiday music will play throughout the course, and cookies and candy stations will await participants at the finish line, adding to the festive holiday atmosphere.

“We are thrilled to bring Santa Hustle to Detroit, who now joins nine other locations around the country in hosting this fun and healthy event to create holiday memories for friends and family. Whether you’re a seasoned runner, a leisurely walker, or a parent with a stroller, Santa Hustle creates a holiday experience to remember,” said Randi Schooley of the Santa Hustle Race Series.

Awards and a customized Santa Hustle medal will be given to the top three male and female finishers in each age category. All participants will receive a sparkly finisher’s medal.
