About the Sleigh Bell Run/Walk
The Sleigh Bell Run/Walk takes place in Kiel, with distance options for walkers and runners alike. The event benefits the Kiel High Booster Club, so the crowd skews local and familiar. Dogs are welcome with walkers on the shorter course, which tends to give the whole morning a casual, neighborhood feel.
Packet pickup runs the evening before at Kiel Middle School gym, with a second window on race morning. Right after the run, kids can meet Santa and Mrs. Claus for a small holiday games event on the school grounds. Hot cocoa is part of the picture, at least in spirit.
