From the Organizer
Join us for the 29th Annual Jingle and Jog 5K Run/Walk benefiting The Haven!
From our humble beginnings in 1997 with just a little more than 200 runners, the Jingle & Jog 5k has been a festive marquee event in the Sarasota community for two decades. With over 7,000 finishers of the event – we want you to add your name to the list! All funds raised by the event benefit the mission of The Haven, an established non-profit with a 68-year legacy of providing programs and services for children and adults with disabilities. Sanctioned by the Manasota Track Club, this family-friendly road race is for every athlete and every fitness goal. Starting at The Haven’s beautiful campus nestled on 32-acres of lush Florida scenery, participants will experience a smooth course under the canopy of oak trees. Join us for a Sarasota holiday tradition and be sure to sign up before race day.
A special Thank you to the Fry Family Foundation for donating $20 for every finisher for this year’s race! The Haven is aiming to have over 500 participants!
