McAllen, TX
Entry is $25 now and rises to $30 after Nov 1, 2026, so registering before then saves $5.
This is a holiday-season race in McAllen built around a toy drive. Runners are asked to bring a new, unwrapped toy, and a portion of entry proceeds also goes toward gifts for local children. The race draws families and people connected to the Rio Grande Valley community, and the giving piece is as central to the day as the running itself.
