Course and race notes
We have some disappointing news.
The Jingle 5K scheduled on Sunday, December 13, 2026 is cancelled. The National Park Service has announced that, starting November 15, it will close East Potomac Park south of Buckeye Drive. That includes Ohio Drive and the Hains Point loop where our course runs.
