About the 14th Annual Wellington Jingle Bell Run 5k
The course runs inside Village Park, looping through the campus grounds. It is certified by USA Track and Field, so the distance is accurate. The holiday theme runs deep: runners get jingle bells before the start, and there are costume awards for the fastest Santa, Mrs. Claus, and elves, alongside the usual age group and overall results.
Participants have the option to bring an unwrapped toy at registration, which goes to a Village of Wellington donation drive. The start is early morning, so the heat is manageable. Packet pickup timing is still to be determined, so check back closer to race day for those details.
