Downtown Jingle 5K & Kids Elves Run
The Downtown Jingle 5K and Kids Elves Run take place on December 13, 2026 at Centreville Bank Stadium in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. The 5K route starts and finishes outside the stadium and finishes with a run through the stadium lighting display.
The finish experience leads participants into the Rhode Island Holiday Lights Festival inside the stadium. Race participants receive access to the festival, which includes light displays, entertainment, holiday shopping, and seasonal food and beverages. Friends and family who are not running may purchase festival admission separately. Kids under two are free.
Event options include in-person and virtual entries. Virtual entry does not include access to the stadium holiday light event. Virtual participants may pick up shirts at a pre-race packet pickup or have shirts mailed after race day. Virtual results count toward several series including the Run Rhody Grand Slam.
The Downtown Jingle 5K serves as the final race in the Run Rhody Grand Slam, a four-race series with a finisher medal and a Run Rhody rechargeable LED safety vest awarded to series finishers. The event supports Amos House and Toys for Tots and collects donated toys at Marathon Sports Providence between November 30 and race morning.
