About the Christmas Clearing Council Jingle Bell Jog and Walk

The route starts and ends at a hotel, passing through an outdoor holiday lights trail on the property before connecting to a paved trail along the lake. The lights make the course feel different from a standard road race, especially on a cold winter morning. Several distance options are available, including a short loop designed for children.

Light snacks and sports drinks are out before the start and again after, and the post-race area has a party feel to it. The race benefits a local charity that provides gifts to children in need at Christmas, which gives the whole morning a clear sense of purpose.

Common Questions About the Christmas Clearing Council Jingle Bell Jog and Walk

Will I finish last at the Christmas Clearing Council Jingle Bell Jog and Walk?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 33:02, and the last recorded finisher came in around 57:01, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Christmas Clearing Council Jingle Bell Jog and Walk a good first 5K?

It is a small race (85 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Christmas Clearing Council Jingle Bell Jog and Walk?

The 5K winner ran 17:26 while the median finisher took 33:02. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
