A Merry Christmas Run 5K/10K/13.1 Memphis
About the race
Jingle All the Way: A Merry Christmas Run is a holiday run that celebrates the true essence of Christmas: spreading love, giving selflessly, and enjoying togetherness with family, friends, and even strangers, all before the Christmas festivities.
This is a smaller, private group run with a cap per wave, and all paces and ages are welcome (under 18 with a guardian). You can run or walk.
Swag bag and shirts
Your swag bag includes:
- Running T-shirt, shipped to the address you register with (US only)
- Finisher's towel or giveaway
- Finisher's medal
- Digital training pack
Technical running shirts are an optional upgrade for $5 more. Shirts are shipped the week of your race; late registrants' shirts will likely arrive after the run, so you can wear any shirt you find appropriate.
Wave times and sign-up
Runs sell out quickly, and waves close once they fill. If a wave is sold out, you can sign up for the virtual run option or the wait list.
- Wave A: 7:30AM
- Wave B: 8:00AM
- Wave C: 8:30AM
Waves are filled first come, first served; email [email protected] with your desired wave. Late runners can run upon arrival, and coordinators stay 3 hours after the first wave.
Bibs and race day pickup
Race bibs are provided on race day, so there is no packet pickup.
Virtual run option
The virtual run can be done any time and place of your choosing, with any tracking device (optional). Submit your results to [email protected] to receive your medal. A final update with details and course maps is emailed the Wednesday before the race.
Charity donations
For every mile you log after the race, we donate $1 to one of our charity partners; fundraising is optional.
Timing and results
Timing is optional. Track your time on an app such as Strava, RunKeeper or Nike Run and submit it with the online form to be posted, or ask our coordinators to track it for you. No timing chips are used.
