Christmas In July 5K

The Christmas In July 5K takes place in Fresno, California, utilizing the same course layout as the seasonal Jingle Bell Run. Participants follow a route along Christmas Tree Lane, which is known for its shaded paths. The event serves as a 10-point race within the California Classic Runner of the Year Series.

The primary event is a 5k run and walk that begins and ends near the intersection of Palm and Van Ness. This physical race is open to participants of various ages, and children aged nine and under qualify for a reduced registration rate.

In addition to the in-person race, a virtual participation option is available. This format allows individuals to complete a 3.1 mile distance at a location and time of their choice. While results for the virtual event are not officially recorded or posted, those registered for this category receive an event shirt and a finisher medallion by mail following the event date.
