Celebrate Christmas in July and Raise Money for In Need Children

Jingle all the way to Brighton Park with the Santa Hustle Atlantic City 5K, 9K, 12K and Kids Dash. This family-friendly event begins at 7 a.m. for the 12K, 7:15 a.m. for the 9K, 7:30 a.m. for the 5K and the Kids Dash will take place at 9:30 a.m. Proceeds from the event will benefit the charity beneficiary, Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Atlantic and Cape May Counties - a nonprofit organization whose goal is to ensure each child in their programs achieves success in their lives, through an array of services.

Cookie and candy stations, along with holiday music and cheer, will abound along the course. Immediately following the event, participants can jingle all the way to an on-site awards ceremony!

With registration, participants in the 5k, 9K and 12K will receive a dri-fit tank top or short sleeved t-shirt, a wicking headband and a Christmas in July themed finisher medal. A Mrs. Claus package and Santa shirts are also available for purchase during registration. Kids who participate in the Kids Dash will receive a t-shirt, race bib and finishers medal.

“Christmas is a time for making memories and giving back to others,” said SHRS race founder Aaron Del Mar. “This event brings family and friends together while supporting area children in need.”

Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Atlantic and Cape May Counties will be hosting a Back to School Drive during the event to provide children with school supplies and set them up for a successful school year. In addition to school supplies, race participants are also asked to donate a reusable water bottle for area school children.
