🔔 Jingle Trails Trail Run
Trail running with a holiday twist
Step off the pavement and into the holiday spirit! Jingle Trails takes you through the winding dirt trails of McAllister Park in central San Antonio. Expect dirt, roots, rocks, and gravel — this is not a road race. It’s a true trail run, sprinkled with holiday cheer and a cozy finish waiting for you at the end.
🏃 Choose Your Adventure
20k - Double up on your trail fun with 2 laps on the Blue Loop! Perfect for those training for a longer winter trail race!
10K – Blue Loop Challenge
Test your trail legs on the Blue Loop! Due to current construction, expect a slightly longer course with a short detour.
5K – Red Trail Dash
A festive (and rugged) journey through McAllister’s Red Trail.
✨ All distances overlap on the way back, making the finish line a high-energy holiday reunion!
**Please note: distances are estimates and trails courses tend to run long. Think of it as more mileage for your money!
Complementary Shiner beer at the finish!
🎄Swag
Finisher's Medal, Jingle Trails mugs (first 200 to pick up at packet pick up), & Jingle Trails Beanie! We have several different styles and colors of beanies that will be given out at packet pickup on a first-come-first-serve basis. Get to packet pickup early for the best selection of swag!

There are no refunds for the race. Please see our refund policy below:
To produce an awesome race, we coordinate our efforts and plan well in advance, making it difficult and costly to make changes after registration. Medals, bibs, shirts and other items are ordered months before the race and purchased according to the original information provided during registration. As a result, and similar to other races in the industry, iRun Texas and Split Second Productions does not offer refunds of registration fees for any reason. In addition, release forms and emergency content are specific to the individual participant. Transferring such information would be a liability to the participant as well as the race. This policy applies to individuals with injuries, unexpected business, family emergencies, etc. There are no exceptions. We encourage you to consider purchasing race insurance through a 3rd party during the registration process.
