Celebrate Woodinville Winterfest 5k

Celebrate Woodinville Winterfest 5k takes place in Woodinville, Washington, on December 5, 2026, as part of the Winterfest celebrations put on by Celebrate Woodinville. The event is a single 5K (3.1 miles) starting at 9:30 a.m., a mid-morning start that suits a December date in the Pacific Northwest. Elevation gain is not listed.

A winter 5K like this one works for a wide range of runners. It can be a first race, a festive outing with friends, or a fast end-of-season effort if you have kept up your speed work through the fall. For a first 5K, six to eight weeks of running three times a week is plenty; for a time goal, add a weekly session of short intervals and finish your warm-up with a few strides so the first mile does not feel like a shock. Expect cool, possibly damp conditions in early December, so dress in layers you can shed at the start and keep a dry top for afterward.
