Santa Hustle Orlando

Santa Hustle Orlando is run in Kissimmee, Florida, on December 19, 2026, as part of the Santa Hustle race series. The Kids Dash opens the morning at 8:30 a.m., then the 10K (6.2 miles) and the 5K (3.1 miles) start together at 9:00 a.m. The series is aimed at runners of every age and level: holiday music plays along the route, treats such as candy canes and cookies are handed out on course, and every runner receives a Santa hat, a beard and a cozy holiday sweatshirt.

Costume races with food on course are not the place to hunt a personal best, so decide in advance which race you are running — the fast one or the fun one. If it is the 10K and you want a real time, skip the treat stations and keep your effort even; six weeks of consistent mileage with one weekly long run of an hour is the right preparation.
