About the Colorado Tap House Jingle Bell Run
The run goes along Ralston Creek Trail, so the terrain is path-flat and the surroundings are open. It starts at Colorado Tap House, and the holiday costume element is real, not decorative: ugly sweaters, Santa hats, and reindeer antlers are the norm out there, not the exception.
After the run, the party moves back inside the Tap House, where an ugly sweater judging and holiday music bingo keep things going. Packet pickup is at the start, so there is no separate trip the day before.
