The elves have let us in on a little secret. Santa will be doing a pre-Christmas stop at the Jolly Jog 5K this year!

Sub For Santa
We are also collecting donations for Sub For Santa at the Jolly Jog this year. The mission of the Cache County Sub for Santa program is to provide temporary assistance during the Christmas season to individuals and families residing in Cache County who are in need. The impact on each child they serve can be life changing, but the program moves beyond simply material goods, it also helps free up financial resources for families to avoid debt and/or focus on basics such as rent, food, and other needs that may be put to the side to afford Christmas for their family. With your help, they can continue to give.
You can donate right now here or when you register for the race.
