About the Jingle 5k
The course winds through a pair of downtown parks, with Christmas trees lighting the route along the way. It is an evening race, so you are running in the dark with holiday lights all around. The pace is whatever you want it to be, and festive outfits are very much part of the scene.
Packet pickup happens on race day before the start, which keeps things simple. There is also a kids' dash earlier in the evening, so families with younger runners have a reason to arrive early and stay for both.
