About the 29th Annual Jingle & Jog 5k
The course starts on a large campus and runs beneath a canopy of oak trees on smooth roads. The setting feels more like a quiet nature run than a typical holiday road race, with Florida greenery throughout. The race benefits a local nonprofit serving people with disabilities, so there is a sense of purpose behind the morning beyond the running itself.
Early packet pickup is hosted the evening before at a New Balance store on the north side of Sarasota, which also makes it a good stop if you need shoes before race day. Race-morning pickup opens early, but the organizers are clear that registration closes before race day, so plan ahead.
