Jingle Trails presented by Merrell

🔔 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!
