Thousands of Santas will invade Cedar Point for the Teen Leadership Corps.

Put the run in Pa-run Pum Pum Pum! The Santa Hustle 5K and half marathon is coming soon! You don’t want to miss this magical race on December 9, 2018, which begins and ends at Cedar Point. The Santa Hustle creates an exciting environment for participants and spectators of all ages, while embracing the reason for the season!

This year’s 5k and half marathon participants will receive a Santa hat, beard and a performance hoodie to wear while running, a finisher medal, and new for 2018 - the option to add on the Mrs. Claus package, which includes a red tutu, arm warmers, candy cane socks and two face tattoos.

According to the Santa Hustle Race Series founder, Aaron Del Mar, β€œThe Santa Hustle atmosphere is unlike any other, and is much more than just a race-it’s an experience that creates lasting memories.”

Cookie and candy stations, along with holiday music and cheer, will abound along the course. After the race will be an after party where awards will be given for the best individual and group costume, as well as winners in each of the race categories who can boast, toast and sing holiday carols off key!

Santa Hustle also makes a difference in the lives of others. The race will donate a portion of the profits to Teen Leadership Corps. Teen Leadership Corps empowers teens to achieve their leadership potential through a character and service based curriculum administered by high schools. The event also is an official drop-off spot for unwrapped toys for the Toys for Tots program.
