INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Santa Hustle is bringing back the holiday fun with its in-person and virtual Santa Hustle 5K and Kids Dash Sunday, December 5 at White River State Park! The half-marathon begins at 9 a.m., the 5K at 9:15 a.m. and kid’s dash at 8:30 a.m. Entry fees for the 5K are 49.99 ($60 on race day) and the kid’s dash is $10 ($20 on race day).
The 2020 event was canceled and event organizer, Santa Hustle Race Series, LLC., is thrilled to again be bringing visions of sugarplums and thousands of Santa’s to the course around Indianapolis’s iconic state park. And in the true spirit of Christmas, Santa Hustle will be giving back a portion of event proceeds to Little Red Door Cancer Agency, a non-profit foundation that offers services for cancer patients.
Little Red Door Cancer Agency helps to improve the lives of cancer patients by reducing the physical, emotional, and financial burdens of cancer for the medically underserved residents of central Indiana.
Runners and walkers are invited to join this magical and nostalgic holiday-themed event. Included with registration is a Santa hat, beard, a gift-shaped finisher’s medal and a customized dri-fit hoodie. Whether they’re naughty or nice, participants can indulge themselves at cookie, candy and hot chocolate stations along the course to fuel their holiday cheer! Festive holiday tunes will be playing throughout the course to keep spirits bright.
After the last person crosses the finish line, an awards ceremony will be held with medals for top finishers! The top three overall male and female finishers will receive personalized awards. Prizes will also be held for best group costume and best individual costume.
Volunteers needed! Santa’s elves are needed to distribute packets, hand out snacks and check gear during the event. All ‘elves’ receive an elf shirt, elf hat, food, and drink — and Santa’s eternal gratitude. For more information, visitsantahustle.com/indianapolis/, call 773-718-1444 or email info@santahustle.com.
