Santa Shufle 5K

Chicago IL- December 5, 2009

Chilly Saturday morning temperatures did not deter Chicago runners. Dressed in red hats, beards, and red tee shirts,

to pay homage to jolly St. Nick, participants hit their mark at the inaugural Santa Shuffle 5k in Lincoln Park. Runners were also treated to the surprise announcement that a film crew from “The Rachel Ray Show” was taping the race for airing at a later date. www.rachaelrayshow.com/show/segments/view/santa-shuffle

The Santa Shuffle 5K was the third race in the Get Fit. Go Green. Race Series organized by Adrenaline Sports Management. Adapting an earth-friendly stance meant minimizing waste as much as possible. For example race bibs were recyclable, organic foods were served post race, re-usable signs, banners were utilized. Participants were encouraged to register online and participate in a Ride Share Carpool Program. Continuing the celebratory feel of the event donations were accepted for “Toys for Tots.” Adrenaline Sports Management will also collected used running shoes and race clothing which were donated to charity.
