Jingle Bell Jog Chattanooga

Jingle Bell Jog Chattanooga takes place in Chattanooga, Tennessee, on December 19, 2026. One distance is offered, a 5K starting at 9:00 a.m., which makes for an uncomplicated race morning: a single wave, a single finish line and the rest of the day free.

A mid-December 5K on the road is one of the easiest goals to slot into a training year. If you are between build-ups, run it as a hard effort inside an otherwise easy week and use the result to set your paces for the winter. If you are new to racing, three miles is a distance you can walk-run comfortably with a month of preparation, alternating five minutes of running with one minute of walking until the running stretches join up.
