UP AND RUNNING Jingle Bell 5K Run/walk 2026

The UP AND RUNNING Jingle Bell 5K Run/walk is a December morning 5K in El Paso, starting and finishing at Up and Running on North Mesa. It is open to runners and walkers, with an 8:30 a.m. MST start and a holiday-race feel built around a short, accessible distance. The course begins and ends at the shop, with tamales and hot chocolate at the finish line. Awards go to the top three men and women overall, the largest team receives a trophy, and age-group medals are awarded from 9 and under through 80 and over. The first 600 registered participants receive a long-sleeve technical shirt, and proceeds support the Coach Nathan Casillas Cross Country Fund.
