The UP AND RUNNING Jingle Bell 5K Run/walk is a December 5K held in El Paso, Texas. The course starts and finishes at Up and Running on North Mesa. It is open to runners and walkers. The first 600 registered participants will receive a long-sleeve technical shirt. Awards will be given to overall winners and age groups ranging from 9-and-under to 80-plus.
The race is part of the Jingle Bell Run series, which encourages teams, families, coworkers, and holiday runners to participate with bells. The El Paso event includes local elements such as tamales and hot chocolate post-race, and a trophy for the largest team. Proceeds benefit the Coach Nathan Casillas Cross Country Fund, while the series as a whole supports the Arthritis Foundation.
