One of the traditions that makes the Jingle Bell Jog special is the chance to pick up a present during the race! There will be three present locations along the course. Participants may choose a present at any one of these locations. Please take only one present so that every participant has an opportunity to receive a gift. Keep your present wrapped until you cross the finish line. Be sure to open the box after you finish, because the gift inside may be different from what the box suggests! And don’t worry — we promise there’s no Velveeta cheese out there! Course Treats & Water
Around the halfway point, participants will have the opportunity to grab a cookie and/or candy cane. There will also be three water stations located along the course. Awards
