About the Gingerbread Lane 5K & 10K San Antonio
The race runs through McAllister Park, a wooded San Antonio park with paved and natural-surface paths through Texas greenbelt. The course is tree-lined and relatively gentle, with separate distance options for adults and a short dash for younger kids. A DJ keeps things moving at the start and finish area throughout the morning.
There is a costume contest at the finish, and holiday cookies and milk are set out after you cross. Aid stations are positioned along the course. The finish area has a rally tent with snacks and announcements, and award winners are called out individually.

The Gingerbread Lane 5K & 10K San Antonio has been held every year since at least 2024. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Jul 27, 2026.
