About the Ford Elementary Jingle Jog 5K
This is a school fundraiser 5K that starts and finishes at Ford Elementary School, in the covered drop-off area out front. The course heads out on Mars Hill Road, turns onto Fords Road, and goes to County Line Road before coming back the same way. The terrain rolls throughout, so expect some gentle ups and downs rather than a flat road race.
Packet pickup and race-morning registration both happen inside the school cafeteria before the start. Parking is available in the school lots and along the car line lanes on the property. There is a water station at the turnaround, and additional water and snacks are set out at the finish. Restrooms are accessible through the cafeteria entrance.
