About the McLean Rotary's Jingle Bell 5K Run/Walk
The course winds through McLean neighborhoods, starting and finishing at a high school stadium. It has the feel of a holiday morning run through residential streets, and the jingle bells attached to runners' shoes at packet pickup mean you hear the field as much as you see it. Post-race food and drink are set up near the finish, along with local vendors.
Packet pickup runs the day before at a local running store in Falls Church, with race-morning pickup available near the start line at the stadium. The start area is the school's stadium and track, so parking and gathering space are straightforward.

The McLean Rotary's Jingle Bell 5K Run/Walk has been held every year since at least 2025. 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 Oct 25, 2026.
