From the Organizer
This is the 7th annual Jingle Bell 5K to support the Annual Campaign of the Swift Creek Family YMCA. Participation in the Jingle Bell 5K supports Y programs that positively impact the local community. Net proceeds benefit the YMCA annual campaign, which helps everyone, regardless of age, income or background, have the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive at the Y.
In 2025, we are running for programs that support and drown proof Chesterfield County. Our goal is for every 2nd grader in our service area to have access to our Learn to Swim program through Chesterfield County Schools. By signing up to run the Jingle Bell 5K, you will be directly impacting this life changing program.
All participants will receive a finishers medal and running gloves.
