Downtown Jingle 5K 2026

The Downtown Jingle 5K begins on Memorial Boulevard in downtown Providence, Rhode Island. A Kids Elves Run for ages 12 and under precedes the 5K run/walk. This is a holiday-season race offering chip timing for all participants. Walkers are permitted in the main 5K, and a virtual 5K option is available for those participating remotely. Packet pickup occurs at Marathon Sports in Providence Place. Participants can also bring toys for the Toys for Tots collection at this location. Those who register for the online 5K will receive race shirts. Race-day entrants might not receive shirts. The event is part of a four-race Grand Slam series, which includes the Brightstar Downtown 5K, Providence Monster Dash 5K, and Rhode Island Family Turkey Trot 5K. Runners can register for multiple races to receive a medal, a gift, and per-event discounts.
