About the Jingle Trails
Jingle Trails runs through McAllister Park on dirt trails with roots, rocks, and gravel underfoot. The course is genuinely technical, not a groomed path, so expect to watch your footing. Runners doing the longer distances cover the blue loop, while the shorter option follows a separate red trail. The different routes converge near the end, so the finish area gets a crowd.
The race starts and finishes at the Optimist Pavilion inside the park. Packet pickup runs at a local running store earlier in the week, with race-morning pickup available as well. Runners doing the longest distance start earlier than the others, so that group should plan ahead. There is Shiner beer at the finish.

The Jingle Trails has been held every year since at least 2018. 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.
