Make sure to take an “elfie” at the Detroit Santa Hustle 10K, 5K or Kids Dash on Saturday, December 14 at Stony Creek MetroPark, located at 4300 Main Park Drive in Detroit! Individuals of all ages and fitness levels are warmly invited to join the holiday fun. The Kids Dash begins at 8:30 a.m. for ages 2 - 10, followed by the 10K at 9 a.m. and the 5K starting at 9:15 a.m. Santa Hustle Detroit is currently seeking a local charity partner to give back to the community during this holiday-hustle event!

This first-ever event in 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 so excited to bring Santa Hustle to Detroit, who now joins 10 other locations around the country in hosting this fun and healthy event to create holiday members for friends and family. Whether you’re a seasoned runner, a leisurely walker, or a parent with a stroller, Santa Hustle truly creates a holiday experience,” said Randi Schooley of the Santa Hustle Race Series.
