A Holiday Tradition Benefiting Guide Dogs of the Desert
Join us for the annual Jingle Paws 5K, a festive run/walk celebrating the holiday season while supporting the life-changing mission of Guide Dogs of the Desert.
Each registered participant receives a complimentary commemorative race shirt. Participants may also purchase a Santa suit through our event store to add even more holiday spirit to the festivities. Whether you choose to run, walk, or stroll, you'll enjoy a scenic 5K (3.1-mile) course through the beautiful Palm Springs community. Strollers and four-legged friends are welcome, making this a fun-filled event for the entire family.
Young participants can join the excitement with our Elf Dash, a special race designed for children ages 10 and under.
The course begins and ends at Temple Isaiah, located at 332 W. Alejo Road in Palm Springs, and follows a fast, relatively flat route through quiet neighborhood streets adorned with holiday spirit.
