'Tis the season to get jolly!
Grab your Santa hats, lace up your running shoes, and get ready to spread some holiday cheer at The Jolly Jog 5K, presented by Fleet Feet!
We're bringing the holiday spirit to downtown Cincinnati with a festive 5K that's all about community, movement, and having a ridiculously good time.
Whether you're chasing a personal best, jogging with friends, or just here for the holiday vibes, there's a place for everyone at the starting line. All paces, all abilities, and all levels of holiday spirit are welcome.
And the best part? We're running for a cause! In partnership with Cincinnati SantaCon, a portion of every registration will benefit The Cure Starts Now, supporting the fight against pediatric brain cancer.
