Galveston Santa Hustle 5K and Half Marathon on December 19

After a challenging year – even at the North Pole – Galveston Santa Hustle is bringing back the love after a full year away, with its 10th annual Santa Hustle 5K, Half Marathon and Kids Dash Sunday, December 19 at San Luis Resort! 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 Galveston County Food Bank – a local organization dedicated to providing food assistance, meeting a critical need of feeding hungry people in Galveston County.

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!

“This event continues to be a magical way to celebrate the holiday season with friends or family while creating lasting memories,” said Santa Hustle Race Series, LLC founder, Aaron Del Mar. “Since Christmas is a time to give back, we are proud to have partnered with a charity that helps feed those who are struggling through the after-effects of the pandemic.”

Participants can visit the Santa Hustle Facebook page, where they can win swag from previous Santa Hustle races by participating in ‘Win it Wednesday’ at facebook.com/SantaHustle. For those not able to attend this event in person, virtual options are available as well, including a 5K, 10K, half-marathon or full marathon.
