About the Fleet Feet Syracuse Jolly Jog Fun Run/Walk
The Jolly Jog starts and finishes at the Fleet Feet store on Bridge Street in East Syracuse. The course is an open-pace run and walk, so people move at whatever speed suits them. The holiday theme is genuine rather than decorative: most of the crowd shows up dressed as Santa, which makes the whole thing feel more like a neighborhood parade than a road race.
Registration supports Toys for Tots, and participants are set up with Santa gear before heading out. Packet pickup is at the store itself, which doubles as the start line, so there is no separate location to track down.
