Join us December 6, 2025 as the stars come out for the most epic nighttime Christmas athletic event. Midland Athletic Company is excited to continue its partnership with Junior Achievement of the Permian Basin to bring Midland its largest and most festive 5k.



Junior Achievement is the worlds largest organization dedicated to educating students in grades K-12 about entrepreneurship, work readiness and financial literacy through experiential, hands-on programs. JAs programs help prepare young people for the real world by showing them how to generate wealth and effectively manage it, how to create jobs which make their communities more robust, and how to apply entrepreneurial thinking to the workplace.
