Santa Hustle Glendale 2026

Santa Hustle Glendale is a holiday-themed running event at Westgate Entertainment District in Glendale, Arizona, offering half marathon, 10K, and 5K distances. This event brings the Santa Hustle format to the desert, with the race centered on costumes, seasonal music, and Christmas decorations instead of a basic road-race atmosphere. Runners receive Santa-themed apparel including a hat, beard, long-sleeve shirt, and beanie, along with a finisher medal. The course includes candy canes and cookies, making it particularly suitable for families, casual runners, and anyone seeking a December race that resembles a group holiday gathering more than a competitive time trial.
