White Elephant is a 1-mile and 5K running race held on December 5, 2026, in King George, Virginia, at 11617 Caledon Rd. The event starts at 8:00 AM, making it suitable for early risers wanting to complete their race before the day gets too warm. Entry fees range from $30 to $40, positioning it in the moderate price range for local races. The two-distance format accommodates both newer runners tackling the 1-mile option and those using the 5K as a harder workout or time trial effort. This timing places the race during the holiday season, which some athletes use as a final racing opportunity before year-end recovery or off-season training adjustments.

Welcome to the White Elephant 5K, unwrap the fun, embrace the unexpected, and enjoy every mile of this joyful holiday tradition! The run is dog friendly.
