Jingle Bell Run - Parks Tacoma
The Jingle Bell Run is a holiday community run and walk held at Wright Park in Tacoma on December 24, 2026. The event uses a three-loop course around Wright Park on the gravel path and covers a total distance of 3 mile. The start and finish area is near the basketball courts at the corner of South I Street and South 6th Avenue.
The event offers two separate start sessions and is chip timed. Each registered participant receives a beanie, a sticker, a medal, and a commemorative race bib; participants may opt out of the hat for a reduced registration fee. Packet pickup is scheduled at People’s Community Center the day before the event and also at the Parks Tacoma tent on race day. There is no designated race-day parking; participants should use available street parking. Bag check is not provided.
Top male, top female, and top non-binary finishers will be recognized, and all finishers receive a medal. The course is stroller friendly and dogs on leash are permitted; attendees are responsible for their animals’ behavior. The event includes complimentary hot chocolate and a donation drive in partnership with Tacoma Rescue Mission to collect blankets, warm clothing, and small personal items. Volunteers support setup, registration, and aid stations. The event is presented by Proliance Puget Sound Orthopaedics and organized by Parks Tacoma Races.
