A Charlie Brown Christmas 5K/10K - Dallas

A Charlie Brown Christmas 5K/10K - Dallas is run on December 19, 2026, from Trinity Groves Gateway Plaza in Dallas, Texas. The 10K starts at 8:15 a.m. and the 5K follows at 8:25 a.m., both on a mostly flat, fast out-and-back along the Trinity Skyline Trail. Santa is on hand, refreshments are served afterward, and every entrant receives a licensed Peanuts medal, a bib, and a technical shirt. Proceeds go to Be An Angel, a charity serving the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

A flat out-and-back is exactly the profile you want for a personal best, and the trail surface keeps traffic out of the equation. Run the outbound half a touch conservatively, then use the turnaround as your cue to press. The 10K rewards a few weeks of tempo work; the 5K is the simpler entry point.
