About the 13th Annual Jingle Bell Holiday Run 1-M, 5K and 10K
The course runs along the dam at Lake Perris State Recreation Area, out and back on pavement closed to traffic. You get open lake views the whole way, and the terrain is flat throughout. Several distance options make it work for the kids in your group and the runners who want a longer effort on the same morning.
Packet pickup and registration open race morning in the dam area before the first start. There is a vehicle entrance fee to get into the state park, so have cash or a card ready at the gate. The club runs a toy drive alongside the race, so you can bring a new unwrapped toy if you want to participate.
