About the CCUCC's Jingle All The Way 5k!
The route runs through residential streets near Marion Steele High School and along Main Street, passing through Beaver Creek Park. It is a winter course, so ice can be a factor and organizers work with local police to keep it clear. The fun walk stays on the high school track, where Christmas carols play as people go around.
Packet pickup runs the evening before at the church on Main Street, with race-morning pickup available at the field house if you need it. Parking is at Marion Steele High School on Washington Street. After the race, hot cocoa and Christmas cookies are out, and Santa and Mrs. Claus show up to greet the crowd before the finish area clears out.
