Join us for the 19th Annual Gingerbread 5K Run/Walk and celebrate the holiday season with one of Belleville's favorite traditions! Runners and walkers of all ages are invited to enjoy a festive course through downtown Belleville, while kids ages 3–12 can take part in the Ginger Loop, our fun-filled 1-mile run designed just for them! New this year! The entire event will take place at 510 W. Main Street, making it easier than ever to enjoy all the festivities. After crossing the finish line, stick around for the awards ceremony, live music from a local band, a coffee and hot cocoa truck, bounce houses for the kids, and more holiday fun!

All participants in both the 5K and Ginger Loop will receive: • A long-sleeve event T-shirt • Finish-line photos • A delicious gingerbread cookie • A fun and festive race experience

It's Christmas in July! Register during the month of July to take advantage of our lowest registration price of the season. As an added bonus, everyone who signs up in July will receive an exclusive Gingerbread 5K scarf as a special swag item! Whether you're racing for a personal best, enjoying a family outing, or simply embracing the holiday spirit, the Gingerbread 5K is the perfect way to kick off the holiday season!
