Holiday Hustle - December 3, 2011
Highlights from the 2009 Holiday Hustle
Let’s run! What better way to celebrate the holiday season than to enjoy physical activity and competition? The Holiday Hustle is an event for everyone from the elite athlete to first-time 5k-ers. With prize money for the elites, age group medals, and a kid's run (ages 4-9), followed by a delicious pancake breakfast, this is an event the whole family will enjoy. Also enjoy live Christmas music, local high school mascots, and an introduction of many of Oklahoma's past and present star athletes. Run a USATF certified 5k course that is very flat and fast.
This event is directed by OC cross country coach Mark Thompson, who has helped make it a traditional festivity in the holiday season. "I want to support the sport of distance running in Central Oklahoma on every level. Races should be both competitive and loads of fun, and should be a celebration of hard work and the God-given ability to run," Thompson said.
*The Oklahoma Christian cross country teams work to put on this event, and are the primary beneficiary of the event's proceeds.
