🔔 Jingle Trails Challenge
Trail running with a holiday twist

Step off the pavement and into the holiday spirit! The Jingle Trails Challenge takes you through the winding paths of McAllister Park in central San Antonio. Expect dirt, roots, rocks, and gravel — this isn’t your average road race. It’s a true trail run, sprinkled with holiday cheer and a cozy finish waiting for you at the end.
