Start the holidays off right with some exercise…with a treat at the end! Join The J for the very first Holiday Fun Run Series and participate in a 5K or 1K Run/Walk. The 5k will be a timed run/walk, while the 1K is a non-timed fun run that you can run or walk, starting in our sculpture garden. They encourage participants to bring the family. The 5K is FREE for kids 6 and under with registered parent (shirt not included). No pets allowed though, sorry! Shirt is not guaranteed after 11/12, please register early!

Course Info

The course will run on the Rillito river path on the north and south banks between Alvernon and Swan. Most of the course is on asphalt with the exception of some dirt to access the path and to get back into the J Sculpture Garden for the finish. One set of stairs needs to be ascended to get up to Alvernon; however, this can be bypassed with a lengthier detour out to Paradise Falls Dr and up to Alvernon from there.
