After a challenging year – even at the North Pole – Milwaukee Santa Hustle is bringing back the love after a full year away, with its 11th annual Santa Hustle 5K and Kids Dash Sunday, December 5 at Veterans 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 β€˜Santa Hustlers’, Santa Hustle Race Series, LLC, also gives back. A portion of the proceeds for this event will be donated to Keep Greater Milwaukee Beautiful, Inc. - a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting sustainability through clean, healthy and beautiful communities for generations to come.

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!
