A Merry Christmas Run 5K/10K/13.1 NEW JERSEY

A Merry Christmas Run 5K/10K/13.1 NEW JERSEY takes place in Camden, New Jersey, on December 26, 2026. The half marathon (13.1 miles), the 10K, the 5K and a family one-mile fun run all start at 7:30 a.m. Community and camaraderie set the tone, and timing is optional, so you can record the effort with your preferred app or run with no result at all. A race shirt, a finisher medal and a gift bag are part of the entry.

An event like this earns its place as a relaxed anchor in a holiday week that otherwise pulls training apart. Pick the 5K and you keep the routine ticking over with almost no recovery cost; pick the half and you want twelve weeks of consistent running plus a weekly long run behind you to enjoy it. Runners in between will get the most out of the 10K. Whatever you choose, the shared start time keeps mixed groups together.
