Jingle Bell 5K - Irwin, PA

Jingle Bell 5K - Irwin, PA takes place in Irwin, Pennsylvania, in Westmoreland County, on December 12, 2026. The 5K (3.1 miles) run and a 5K walk both start at 8:00 AM, followed by a kids' 1-mile fun run at 9:00 AM. The course runs through Oak Hollow Park, and the event welcomes participants of all ages. Race-day registration is available, with separate entry fees for adults and children, so you can decide late if the weather or your schedule is uncertain.

This is a community run that mixes a bit of exercise with the festive mood of the holiday season, and the park setting keeps it away from traffic. For a runner who wants an actual effort, a December 5K is a good way to bank a time before the winter miles begin; for a family, the walk option and the kids' mile mean everyone gets a bib. Warm up properly before an 8:00 AM December start, and keep a dry layer ready for after the finish.
