About the #RUNMARANA Egg Nog Jog and Kid’s Free FUN Run
The course runs out and back along the Santa Cruz River path, so the route is paved shared-use trail the whole way. Several distance options are available, each with its own turnaround point. Aid stations sit at the start and finish and at each turnaround, so you are never far from a refuel. The course is marked with triangle ground signs throughout.
Packet pickup is offered the evening before at a local recreation center, or on race morning at the venue. The start area hosts community activities for several hours, including face painting, a photo booth, and a roll-a-snowman craft. Egg nog is part of the post-race celebration.

The #RUNMARANA Egg Nog Jog and Kid’s Free FUN Run 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 Oct 25, 2026.
