Hoboken Jingle Bell 5K 1 Mile Fun Run 2026

Hoboken's Jingle Bell 5K & 1 Mile Fun Run takes place on the Hoboken waterfront at Pier A Park, with Manhattan across the river as the backdrop. The morning begins with the 1 Mile Fun Run, followed by the 5K run/walk, accommodating families, walkers, newer runners, and those aiming for a faster 5K. The race embraces the holiday theme: runners receive a full Santa suit, costumes are encouraged, and jingle bells and music are incorporated. Participants travel from New Jersey and New York. The finish line offers hot chocolate and professional race photos. Winning Events Group organizes the event, which fills annually, making it a local tradition where prompt registration is advised to secure a spot.
