Fleet Feet Jolly Jog presented by Asics
Friday, December 11 | Hickory Point Golf Course | Trees on the Tees
The Jolly Jog is back with a brand-new home! This year we’re teaming up with the Decatur Park District to run through Trees on the Tees, a 1.4-mile loop lined with light displays and decorated Christmas trees at Hickory Point Golf Course. We’ll head out after sunset, before the evening walking tours, so you’ll see the lights glowing as you go.
Everyone gets a FULL SANTA SUIT! Yes, the whole thing. Adult and kids’ sizes are available (one size fits most).
LIMITED TO 100 SANTAS! Spots will go fast.
