About the Jolly Jog 5K

The course winds through downtown Logan and into the surrounding neighborhoods, mostly on sidewalks. Roads stay open, so runners watch for traffic at intersections. There are no official times recorded, so the pace is entirely your own. Santa is on hand for photos, and cookies are at the finish. The race is held rain, shine, or snow.

Packet pickup is in a parking lot behind a yoga studio near the start, with bib and hat pickup before the race begins. The Jolly Jog runs alongside a downtown holiday street festival, so there is more to explore on Center Street once you finish.

Common Questions About the Jolly Jog 5K

Will I finish last at the Jolly Jog 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 38:11, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:03:11, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Jolly Jog 5K a good first 5K?

It is a small race (161 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Jolly Jog 5K?

The 5K winner ran 20:25 while the median finisher took 38:11. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
