A Merry Christmas Run is scheduled for December 26, 2026, at Piney Creek Hollow Park in Centennial/Aurora, Colorado. The event offers multiple distance options, a capped wave structure, and a virtual alternative. Waves are limited in size and may close once filled.
Timing is optional and participants may track their own time with an app or request assistance from onsite coordinators. The event does not use timing chips. Race bibs are provided on race day.
Swag is mailed to registrants in the United States; shirts are shipped the week of the race.

A technical running shirt is available as an optional upgrade for an additional five dollars.
Final event details and course maps are emailed before the race.
