‘Tis the season to be jolly so celebrate “virtually” with thousands of festive walkers and runners across the nation during “Santa Hustle season” throughout December at the location of your choice! Participants can choose between a half marathon, 10K, 5K and Rudolph Run (Kids Dash) and event proceeds will benefit the nonprofit, Trees for Troops.
Participants can enjoy all the awesome swag given out at the in-person event, and have it delivered straight to their front door! Adult participants can jingle all the way to their chosen finish line in hoodies and fleece headbands, included with registration, and can add numerous package upgrades if they choose! Rudolph Run participants receive a long sleeve Santa shirt, Santa hat, Santa beard, race bib and finisher medal. Choose any location you’d like during the month of December and then upload your results to our website at https://santahustle.wpengine.com/virtual/.
“I invite everyone to come out and enjoy this holiday experience, you can join us wherever you are and at any time or location throughout the month of December,” said Aaron Del Mar, Santa Hustle Race Series, LLC founder. “Santa Hustle has something for everyone, no matter their age or fitness level and can be done in the comfort of whatever setting they would like for our virtual events.”

All participants will receive a finishers medal and a bag of holiday cookies. Make sure to join the Santa Hustle Facebook group for virtual runners and upload pictures of yourself, friends and family in Santa Hustle swag! Participants can join the group at: facebook.com/groups/santahustlevirtual.
Since the holiday season is the perfect time to give back, event proceeds will benefit nonprofit Trees for Troops – a program that is part of the Christmas Spirit Foundation, which provides free, farm-grown Christmas Trees to the U.S. armed forces and their families.
