Vail Jingle Trail

The Vail Jingle Trail is a holiday-themed running event featuring two distances: a 5k and a Santa's Little Helper 1k. It takes place on December 12, 2026, in Tucson, Arizona, at Mica Mountain High School.

The event is organized by the Mica Mountain Cross Country Program and aims to promote healthy lifestyles and community engagement. A major part of the event is a toy drive for Toys for Tots. Participants are requested to bring a new, unwrapped toy to donate, with a goal of filling a Vail School District bus with over 500 toys.

The Mica Mountain Cross Country team will be on the course to direct and cheer on participants. Event features include course decorations and themed shirts. A race t-shirt is guaranteed for registrations completed by December 1, 2026. Awards are given. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
