About the Jingle Bell Jog 5k and Reindeer Glow Run
The course runs through a golf and country club decorated with Christmas lights, so you are passing displays the whole way. It goes off in the evening, after dark, and the organizer recommends bringing a headlamp or flashlight. The glow necklaces handed out at packet pickup help, but the course is genuinely dark in stretches.
Packet pickup runs in the hour or so before the start, on-site at the country club. Pre-registration online is required; there is no day-of signup at the venue. Teams are welcome if you want to race with a group, with the fastest members counting toward a combined result.

The Jingle Bell Jog 5k and Reindeer Glow Run has been held every year since at least 2017. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
