Kris Kringle
The Kris Kringle 5-Mile Run has been rescheduled. New Date is April 12th, 2026. On-line Registration is re-opened!
Welcome back to the race world KRIS KRINGLE! This year’s 5 Mile race will be held at the Berks County Agricultural Center on April 12th, 2026 at 10:00 AM and we can’t wait to see you there.
The race changes direction every year giving runners a different perspective of the beautiful course. It is stroller and walker friendly. There are fast road sections, slow hill sections, gorgeous trail in the Blue Marsh Lake area and a section of the Union Canal trail next to a beautiful trout stream. Unfortunately dogs are not allowed on the Union Canal trail, so pets have to wait with your friends at the finish.
