The Worcester Jingle 5K is a community road race held in downtown Worcester, Massachusetts on December 6, 2026. The event is based near Worcester City Hall at 446 Main Street and uses a downtown course that is described as flat and fast.

The race accepts both in person and virtual participants. Virtual participants can pick up shirts at a pre race packet pickup or have shirts mailed after race day, and virtual results can be submitted through the organizer website. Virtual entries count toward several series including the Greendale Physical Therapy Worcester Triple Crown and other Run Rhody series.
Registration features tiered entry fees that increase closer to race day, and a higher fee applies for walk up registration. Race shirts are available in adult sizes Small to XXL and youth Small and Medium, but shirts are not guaranteed for walk up registrations. Pre race packet pickup is scheduled at Sneakerama in Worcester and race day packet pickup is at Front Street next to City Hall.
