A Merry Christmas Run 5K/10K/13.1 SAN Antonio
About the race
Jingle All the Way: A Merry Christmas Run is a holiday run that reminds us of the true essence of Christmas: spreading love, giving selflessly, and cherishing the joy of togetherness with family, friends, and even strangers, all while getting a run in before the Christmas festivities.
This is a smaller, private group run with a cap per wave, and runs sell out quickly.
All paces and ages are welcome (under 18 with a guardian), and you can run or walk. There is no equipment or setup; it is a pure run with our coordinators supporting you in a warm, stress-free setting.
Swag bag and shirts
- 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 optional and can be upgraded for $5 more. They are lightweight and moisture wicking.
Packet pickup and swag delivery
There is no packet pickup. Swag is shipped 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.
When will I get my swag?
You will get your shirt at your mailing address the week of your race.
Last-minute registrations (signing up 2 weeks before the race)

If waves are sold out, you can sign up for the virtual run option or the wait list.

City insight: San Antonio
San Antonio is the second-most populous city in Texas, located in the southern part of the state and serving as the county seat of Bexar County. Its name, Spanish for Saint Anthony, was given by a Spanish expedition in 1691, and it had 1.43 million residents at the 2020 census. Summers are hot and humid with mild winters, so spring and autumn are the best seasons to race.
