About the Turtle Lake Jingle Bell Run
The course winds through village streets and starts and finishes at the local school. It is a winter run, so expect cold pavement and holiday-season crowds. The race wraps up with a chance to meet Santa, and all participants in the main distance are entered in a drawing for a fire pit announced at the awards ceremony.
Packet pickup and the start are both at the school on Oak Street N. The kids run follows the main race on a short course of its own, open to children under a certain age.
