A Merry Christmas Run 5K/10K/13.1 KANSAS CITY 2026

The Merry Christmas Run 5K/10K/13.1 Kansas City begins in Mill Creek Park in Kansas City, Missouri, offering four distances: a 1-mile family fun run, 5K, 10K, and half marathon. This holiday-themed race, titled “Jingle All the Way: A Merry Christmas Run,” is for those seeking a Christmas-season event instead of a typical road race. The Best Races organizes this event, which also provides a virtual participation option. Registration includes an eco-friendly choice for the 5K, 10K, and half marathon, excluding a shirt. Waves close upon reaching capacity, meaning participants are assigned to capped groups rather than a single open start list.
