About the Farmville Jingle Bell Run 5K & Mile Fun Run

The course runs out of First Avenue Field and winds through the Historic Avenues neighborhood before looping back to the same start line. It is mostly flat with a handful of moderate hills along the way. There are a couple of distance options, so you see a range of people out there on race morning.

Packet pickup runs the afternoon before at a nearby address in town, with a second window at the field on race morning before the start. Post-race treats are available once you finish.

Common Questions About the Farmville Jingle Bell Run 5K & Mile Fun Run

Will I finish last at the Farmville Jingle Bell Run 5K & Mile Fun Run?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 34:57, and the last recorded finisher came in around 55:39, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Farmville Jingle Bell Run 5K & Mile Fun Run a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (46 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 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Farmville Jingle Bell Run 5K & Mile Fun Run?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 17:36 while the median finisher took 34:57. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
