Jingle Bell Fun Run/Walk

Lace up your shoes and dig out your most festive gear as the Jingle Bell Fun Run returns on December 4!

This festive, free run or walk is just under one mile and begins at 6:30 p.m. at the corner of McDonald and Main Street in Downtown Midland. It’s not a timed race, so people of all ages and abilities are welcome to take their time and enjoy the route.

Participants are encouraged to come dressed in their best festive gear (holiday sweaters, Santa hats, cool socks, Christmas lights etc.). All registered participants will receive a jingle bell bracelet to wear during the event (while supplies last). Dressed up furry friends and strollers are welcome – the more, the merrier! There may even be some prizes for those best dressed participants! After you cross the finish line, cozy up with a cup of delicious hot cocoa — our warm thanks to Joyful Tantrum / Serendipity Road and Molasses Smokehouse for keeping our spirits (and hands!) toasty this season.

Instead of a registration fee, participants are encouraged to bring a variety of nonperishable food items to be donated to a local food pantry for holiday distribution.

We’re also spreading some extra cheer thanks to the generous support of this year’s sponsor, Ripple Fiber! Be sure to stop by their team’s booth near the start line — they may have some fun, festive wearables to share (while supplies last).

This is a snow or shine event so be sure to dress accordingly!

Prefer to volunteer? We are looking for some cheery and bright volunteer elves to help spread holiday cheer for our Jingle Bell Fun Run. Sign Up to Volunteer Here
