Santa Hustle 5K
Santa Hustle 5K will be held in Erie, PA for the first time on December 8! During this jolly national event, join thousands of other Santas on a 5K run/walk, passing through cookie and candy stations along the race course, as holiday music plays throughout. All 5K participants will receive a Santa hat, beard and themed hoodie to wear while completing this event.
Santa Hustle 5K will help kick off the holiday season in Downtown Erie, as it takes place the morning after Dowtown d'Lights, when the Erie Downtown Partnership lights up Perry Square Park for the holiday season.
A one-mile Rudolph Run for children ages 12 and under will begin at 8:30 a.m., followed by the 5K at 9 a.m.
