Get ready for this year’s Jingle Bell Run, the original festive race for charity brought to you by the Arthritis Foundation. Wear your favorite holiday gear, and let's jingle all the way toward a cure!
Whether you're running, walking, or strolling, bring your friends, family, and coworkers along for the ride. Together, we're spreading joy and making strides towards a brighter future — saying "YES" to life, despite arthritis.
Don't miss out on this special occasion to make a real difference while celebrating four decades of impact with the Jingle Bell Run. Let's lace up, hit the pavement, and jingle our way toward victory over arthritis!
Get ready to jingle all the way at the Jingle Bell Run New Jersey!
Join us for a morning full of holiday cheer, festive outfits, and community spirit—all to support the Arthritis Foundation. Enjoy a light breakfast, kids’ activities, and fun for the whole family (even the dogs are welcome!). After the run, stay for the after-party featuring specialty drinks, music, and plenty of holiday magic.
All participants will receive a Jingle Bell Run shirt and finisher medal. Raise $500 or more to earn an exclusive Arthritis Foundation pom-pom beanie, and those who raise $1,000 or more will join our elite Circle of Champions!
It’s the most fun—and festive—way to kick off the season while making a difference!
