About the Jingle Bell 3 Mile Run
The Jingle Bell Run moves through Ashtabula on a short out-and-back or looping course suited to a brisk winter morning. The race benefits a local distance running club, so the crowd at the start tends to be regulars who know each other and are there for the run itself, not the spectacle.
Dogs are not allowed on the course, though service animals are welcome. Registration is open online and by mail ahead of race day, with a slightly higher price if you wait and register on the morning of the race.
