Saturday marked the return of the Santa Hustle hosted at the San Luis Resort in Galveston. Many of the runners were decked out in holiday gear, some runners were in athletic clothing, and some were without shirts, even though it was cold. The yearly event had close to 3,000 runners running in the kids’ dash, the 5K or the big one, a half-marathon run.
Will they be back next year? Let’s hope so.
