Jingle Paws 5K

Jingle Paws 5K is a dog-loving fun run/walk benefitting the Guide Dogs of the Desert. Each participant receives a Santa suit that can be worn during the event and is then yours to keep! All participants run, walk or stroll the 5K (3.1 mile) route. Strollers and doggies are welcome! There will also be an Elf Dash for children 10 and under. Follow a fast and relatively flat course beginning at Temple Isaiah (332 W. Alejo in Palm Springs) along a quiet and scenic route through local neighborhoods.
