Thousands of Santas will hit the streets of Townsend during the annual Santa Hustle 5K, 10K and Half Marathon. Runners and walkers alike are warmly invited to join this magical event. The Santa Hustle creates visions of sugarplums for all participants, and for spectators of all ages as well! Virtual races are also available.

In addition to loads of holiday fun, Santa Hustle also gives back. The 2023 charity is Mountain Hope Good Shepherd Clinic. The clinic’s mission is to provide accessible, affordable, quality healthcare for the medically uninsured of Sevier County. The providers at Mountain Hope treat patients in need of primary medical care, dental care and behavioral care.

Registration for the event is now open.
