Jingle Bell Run - Tulsa

Jingle Bell Run - Tulsa is organized on December 5, 2026 in Bixby, Oklahoma, with two formats leaving at 10:00 AM: a 5K and a 1 Mile (1.6 km). The race is festive and family-oriented, and proceeds go to the Arthritis Foundation. Each entry includes a t-shirt, jingle bells and a medal, and plenty of participants turn up in costume.

With a mid-morning start and short distances, this one slots easily into a busy weekend. A regular runner can use it as a quality session: a 5K at hard effort plus a proper cool-down replaces an interval workout nicely. For a family, running the mile with the kids and then coming back for the 5K is a simple formula with no real difficulty attached. Either way, keep the first half controlled; short races punish an over-eager opening more than long ones do.
