The long 'running', Jingle Jog race since the 80s, started off simply as a holiday season fun run. Through the years it became more popular and also competitive as it also became the final race of the Orange Runners Club Grand Prix race series and the club's running calendar year. This year, we are USATF-sanctioned and are giving away a long-sleeve thermal shirt to the first 120 registrants!
The Jingle Jog has been held in several different locations around the area with various distances and courses. What they all have in common is the holiday flavor with seasonal costumes welcomed and a warm post-race environment with food and drink.
In addition, as a timed race and part of the Grand Prix, it is also the last opportunity to pick up more points for the year! However, the best reason to come out and participate is to simply enjoy the holiday season with our running community and friends as the year closes out.
This year, all proceeds will go back to the Orange County community by way of the ORC Scholarship and the Sole Purpose shoe campaign! |
