From the Organizer

Join us for the 26th Annual Jingle Bell Rockin' Run 5k Walk/Run! We will offer a virtual option, but we are looking forward to gathering in person on the morning of December 6th for the 5K race. Not only will we have an awesome 5K race, but we will also have the 1/2 mile kids fun run, customized Jingle Bell 25th anniversary swag for participants, photo ops with Santa, Mrs. Clause & Dasher, & SO MUCH MORE!

Awards will be 1st-3rd place overall male/female, 1st-3rd place masters male/female, and 1st-3rd place male/female for the following age groups:  9 & under, 10-14, 15-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, and 70+

The great benefit of running the Jingle Bell Rockin' Run is that you get to run a race that makes a difference this holiday season. The proceeds from the race will go directly to those in need of financial assistance to have access to YMCA programs!
