Jolly Jog 5K - Logan, UT

Jolly Jog 5K - Logan, UT is run in Logan, Utah, on Saturday, November 28, 2026, with the single 5K distance starting at 10:00 a.m. One format keeps the day simple: a 3.1-mile race in a northern Utah college town, on a holiday weekend when a lot of runners are home visiting family and looking for a reason to get out the door.

Logan sits in a mountain valley, so late-November conditions can be cold and the pavement can hold patches of ice; shoes with a bit of grip and a layer you can shed after the first mile are sensible choices. The distance suits everyone from first-timers to runners hunting a fast time, and the 10:00 a.m. start gives you time to eat and warm up properly. Three or four weeks of consistent easy running, plus one session of 400-meter repeats, is a reasonable preparation if you want to race it rather than jog it.
