About the Jolly Jog Fun Run/Walk
The Jolly Jog is Fleet Feet Pittsburgh's holiday running event, where participants dress in Santa suits and head out for a casual run or walk through the city. The mood is more costume parade than race, with a food bank donation drive woven into the morning, so there is a real reason to show up beyond just the miles.
Cocoa and cookies are out at the finish. The Fleet Feet Pittsburgh store serves as the gathering point before the start and handles packet pickup.
