About
Elf Run Bellaire is on the calendar for December 5, 2026 in Bellaire, Michigan, with one event on the program: a 5K run starting at 10 a.m. No elevation gain is listed for the course.
Short 5Ks like this one are the easiest races to fit into a season, whatever your level. If you have never pinned on a bib, four to six weeks of running three times a week will get you comfortably to 3.1 miles. If you are training through the winter, drop it into a Saturday as a hard effort and add a few easy miles afterwards to turn it into a quality day. The 10 a.m. start gives you time to warm up thoroughly, which counts for more in December than at any other point in the year.
