Holiday Hustle - December 4, 2010
Highlights from 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 under the direction of Oklahoma Christian's Cross-country coach, Mark Thompson, who hopes it will become 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."
*The Oklahoma Christian Cross-country teams are working to put on this event, and are the primary beneficiary of the proceeds of this event.
