A Merry Christmas Run 5K/10K/13.1 PHOENIX

The Merry Christmas Run 5K/10K/13.1 PHOENIX is a holiday run held in late December at G.R. Herberger Park in Phoenix, Arizona. Participants can select a 5K, 10K, or half marathon. A Family 1 Mile Fun Run is offered for those seeking a shorter, less strenuous option. A virtual participation choice exists, and registrants may opt for Eco-Registration to forgo an event shirt. The course details are provided to participants via email, with the listing indicating the start point instead of a complete route map. This is a private group run with limited, capped waves that close upon filling. Runners who cannot secure a spot in a wave may join the waitlist or switch to the virtual run. Both walkers and runners are accommodated, and all paces are welcome. Individuals under 18 must be accompanied by a guardian. The event embraces a Christmas theme, emphasizing giving, togetherness, and running during the holiday period.
