About the Bill Rodgers Somerville Jingle Bell Run & Walk
The course starts and finishes in Davis Square, moving through Somerville's neighborhoods and connecting squares along the way. It is a short, urban route with local character built into every block. After the race, a handful of bars and restaurants around the city open up for a post-race party, so there is a natural reason to stick around and wander between a few of them.
