Next Mile Unwrapped
About this race
Event Description
Welcome to Next Mile Unwrapped 2026, a community holiday run on the beautiful Miner’s Ravine Trail in Roseville! This holiday season, we're coming together to log some great morning miles, spread a little holiday cheer, and make Christmas brighter for local children and families in need.
We're turning this event into a holiday toy drive! Bring a new, unwrapped toy to the starting line and help us make the holidays a little more magical for children in our community.
This is a casual, grassroots, un-timed community event. Bring your GPS watches, Garmins, or phones to track your own personal pace and mileage!

Staging & Parking Location:
The event will stage out of the trailhead access point located at the back of the CinemaWest Roseville parking lot (520 N Sunrise Ave, Roseville, CA 95661). Please park in the back of the theater lot.
Entry Requirement:
Participation requires a mandatory entry donation of one new, unwrapped toy brought to the starting line on race morning. Every toy collected will help bring a little extra joy to a child in need this holiday season.
Our goal is simple: come together as a community, enjoy some miles, and make sure more children have something special to unwrap this Christmas!
Swag Upgrade - $45:
Want the official event gear? You can upgrade your registration to receive a Limited Edition Next Mile Performance Race Shirt and a custom Finisher Medal manufactured by DS3design.
Best of all, $5.00 from each upgrade goes directly to Make-A-Wish Northeastern & Central California to help grant wishes for local children with critical illnesses.
The Swag Upgrade window closes firmly on Monday, November 30, 2026, to allow time for production and shipping ahead of race day. Upgrades are capped at 100 participants.
Don't Want to Run? You Can Still Make a Difference:
Community supporters who do not wish to run are highly welcome to participate! You can drop off new, unwrapped toy donations for local children right at our CinemaWest parking lot staging area between 7:30 AM and 9:00 AM on race morning.
Every donation counts, and you don't need to run a single mile to help make someone's Christmas a little brighter!
