From the Organizer
Join us for the 8th Annual Jingle Bell 5K benefiting the Swift Creek Family YMCA Annual Campaign! Your participation helps ensure YMCA programs remain accessible to everyone in our community.
In 2026, proceeds will support drowning prevention and water safety initiatives, helping provide local second-grade students with access to YMCA swim lessons. By registering, you're helping children gain lifesaving skills and confidence in the water.
The event begins at 7:30 AM with the Merry Mile, a family-friendly walk on a paved course, followed by the 5K at 8:00 AM. Participants may walk, jog, or run at their own pace through the Hampton Park neighborhood. Children, strollers, dogs, and participants of all abilities are welcome on both courses. Both events start and finish at the Swift Creek Family YMCA.
All participants will receive a finisher's medal and swag bag.
Parking & Event Information: Free parking is available at the Swift Creek Family YMCA. Additional event details, packet pickup information, and race-day instructions will be emailed to registered participants prior to race day.
Celebrate the season, stay active, and make a meaningful impact in our community!
