A Merry Christmas Run is a low-pressure holiday race at Olmos Basin Park, with 5K, 10K, and half-marathon (13.1-mile) distances. Run or walk at any pace. All ages are welcome, and anyone under 18 needs a guardian.
Waves are small and capped, and there are no timing chips. No chip? No problem. Track your time with an app and submit it online, or ask the coordinators to help keep track. Registration includes a finisher medal, a towel or giveaway, a digital training pack, online results, and a completion certificate, and your shirt is mailed to your registered US address.
Waves fill first-come, first-served, so register ahead. If they sell out, join the waitlist or pick the virtual run, which you can finish at a time and place of your choosing. The course map will be emailed.
