Cumming Christmas Jingle Jog 5K & Fun Run

Cumming Christmas Jingle Jog 5K & Fun Run takes place in Cumming, Georgia, on December 13, 2026. The 5K goes off at 8:30 a.m. and a one-kilometer Kid's Fun Run follows an hour later at 9:30 a.m., so parents can race first and then run alongside their children.

Two formats an hour apart make for a short, well-contained morning: you are done before most of the day starts. For the 5K, a few weeks of regular easy running plus one weekly session of short repeats at goal pace is all the preparation the distance really needs. Bring a layer you can leave behind before the gun, and give yourself a full fifteen-minute warm-up, which counts for more than usual when the effort is this brief.
