About the Jingle Jog 5k & Santa Stroll 2025
This is a holiday-themed outdoor trail race in Troy, with a competitive scored option and a separate untimed stroll for walkers, families, and dogs. Costumes are part of the scene, and prizes go out for best dressed and team spirit alongside the podium spots. The event benefits a local child advocacy center.
Check-in and photos with Santa happen before the races begin, so arriving early is worth it. The scored race goes off first, with the fun-run stroll following shortly after and awards wrapping up the afternoon.
