A Merry Christmas Run 5K/10K/13.1 LOS ANGELES

The Merry Christmas Run in Los Angeles is a holiday-themed running event offering 5K, 10K, and half-marathon distances, along with a Family 1 Mile Fun Run. It is organized as a small, private group run, not a large city race, featuring capped waves that close upon filling. A virtual entry option is available, and the main distances include an eco-registration choice that omits a shirt. The event is scheduled to take place before Christmas festivities, fostering a casual and family-friendly atmosphere. Participants of all ages and paces are welcome; runners under 18 require a guardian, and walkers are encouraged alongside runners. No special equipment or race setup is needed for participants, as coordinators provide support on the day. Should the in-person waves fill, individuals can join the waitlist or opt for the virtual run. Participants are also invited to join local run clubs post-event.
