Since the holiday season is the perfect time to give back, proceeds from The Santa Hustle will benefit Keep Sevier Beautiful. The event also is an official drop-off spot for unwrapped toys for the Toys for Tots program.

Awards and customized Santa Hustle medals will be given to the top three male and female finishers in each age group, along with the overall top three finishers, at the post race party at The Wilderness Resort. New for 2017: each participant who completes the course will receive candy cane socks!
