A Merry Christmas Run : Liberty Station, San Diego
A Merry Christmas Run takes place at Liberty Station in San Diego on December 26, 2026. The event offers in-person and virtual participation with multiple distance options and a capped, wave-based start structure. The event is described as a smaller, private group run with waves that close when filled; waves are assigned on a first come, first served basis.
Timing is optional. Participants may track their time using running apps and submit results for online posting, or ask on-course coordinators for timekeeping assistance. No timing chips are used.
Swag is mailed to US addresses and includes a running T-shirt, a finisher towel or giveaway, a finisher medal, and a digital training pack. Race bibs are provided on race day. A technical running shirt upgrade is offered for an additional fee. Final race details and course maps are communicated by email before the event.
A virtual run option allows completion at any location with submitted results eligible for a medal and digital materials. The event supports charity initiatives and offers optional fundraising; the organizer donates one dollar for each mile logged after the race to affiliated charities.
