About the race

Jingle All the Way: A Merry Christmas Run is a holiday run about spreading love, giving selflessly and enjoying time with family, friends and strangers before the Christmas festivities.

This is a smaller, private group run with a cap per wave. All paces and ages are welcome (under 18 with a guardian), and you can run or walk.

There is no equipment or setup needed; coordinators are there to support you in a warm, stress-free setting.

What you get (swag bag)

  • Running T-shirt, shipped to the address you register with (US only)
  • Finisher's towel or giveaway
  • Finisher's medal
  • Digital training pack
  • Optional technical running shirt, a lightweight moisture-wicking shirt, can be upgraded for $5 more

Waves and sell-out

Waves close as soon as they fill, so the run may sell out quickly. If waves are sold out, you can sign up for the virtual run option or the wait list.

Wave times

Waves are filled on a first come, first served basis. To request a wave, email [email protected] with your desired wave time.

  • Wave A: 7:30 AM
  • Wave B: 8:00 AM
  • Wave C: 8:30 AM

Late runners can run upon arrival. Coordinators stay 3 hours after the first wave.

Packet pickup and swag shipping

No packet pickup is required. Swag is shipped directly to your address, so provide your full, correct US mailing address including apartment number and check the spelling. Race bibs are provided on race day.

Your shirt arrives at your mailing address the week of your race.

Late registration and race updates

Late registrations are accepted up to 2 weeks before the race. Your shirt will likely arrive after the run, so you can wear any shirt you find appropriate to run the race.

We will email you a final update the Wednesday before the race with final details and course maps.

Virtual run option

The virtual run includes a training pack with digital tools. Run any time and place you choose, using any tracking device (optional). After you finish, submit your results to [email protected] to receive your medal.

Fundraising

Keep running. We donate $1 to one of our partner charities for every mile you log after the race. Fundraising is optional.

Timing

  • Timing is optional. Track your time on an app (Strava, RunKeeper, Nike Run, etc.) and submit it with the easy form to be posted online.
  • You can also ask our coordinators to keep track of your time.
  • No timing chips are used.
