A Merry Christmas Run 5K/10K/13.1 SAN DIEGO

Celebrate the Spirit of Christmas at "Jingle All the Way: A Merry Christmas Run" and experience the joy of giving, love, and togetherness through this festive holiday run. Designed for all ages and paces, from seasoned runners to casual walkers, it promises a warm and stress-free environment that supports everyone in achieving their goals.
The event features three waves at 7:30 AM, 8:00 AM, and 8:30 AM, each with limited spots available on a first-come-first-served basis. If the desired wave is sold out, participants can opt for virtual run options or join the waitlist. Waves are smaller, private groups that provide an intimate setting to enjoy the holiday spirit.
Participants will receive a digital training pack and online results upon completion of their race. The swag bag includes a running t-shirt shipped directly to your US address (excluding international shipping), a finisher's medal, and either a towel or another delightful giveaway. For those who want extra comfort during their run, technical shirts are available for an additional $5.
Race timing is optional; runners can use any app like Strava or RunKeeper to track times and submit them via the provided form. Coordinators will also be on hand to assist with time tracking if needed. No timing chips are required as this event aims to keep things simple and enjoyable, focusing on personal achievement rather than competition.
The race day experience is hassle-free; there's no packet pickup necessary, making it convenient for everyone involved. Bibs will be provided at the start line ready for you when you arrive. Virtual runners can complete their runs anytime leading up to December 25th using any preferred tracking method and submit results afterward via email.
Race updates including final details and course maps will be sent out a week before the event, ensuring everyone is well-prepared. Late arrivals are welcome; coordinators stay three hours after each wave begins, providing flexibility for participants who may have last-minute schedule changes.
For those interested in supporting local running communities beyond just participating, opportunities exist to join Team Glo Volunteers or become sponsors of future events. The event also features a race bundle discount and charity initiatives where every mile logged post-race contributes funds towards charitable causes (donation is optional).
Join us for an unforgettable holiday experience that combines fitness with the warmth of community spirit during this special season.
