Holly Jolly 5K Run/ Walk - Rustburg

Holly Jolly 5K Run/ Walk - Rustburg is held in Rustburg, Virginia, on December 19, 2026, with a single 5K run/walk starting at 9:00 a.m. Listed at 3.1 miles, it is a one-distance road event, so everyone shares the same start and the same finish line and the morning stays simple.

Allowing walkers alongside runners widens the field considerably, which is worth knowing if you are chasing a time: line up toward the front and settle into your rhythm early rather than weaving through traffic in the first quarter mile. For anyone using the race as a season-ending effort, a short taper of three easy days is all you need. If you are walking it, aim for a steady cadence and expect to be done inside an hour.
