Jingle Bell Jog 2019 is coming!

Everyone's favorite winter race, the Manistee Jingle Bell Jog 5K, is fast approaching!  Race date this year is December 7th at 10am.

Once again we'll be running through the streets of Manistee to the sound of jingle bells.  Come ready to run a fast time, walk with friends, or wear a great holiday-themed outfit - it's a wonderful time for all!

We'll have our famous "ugly-sweater" long-sleeve T's for all participants.  Only $18 to pre-register by Thanksgiving - it's a fun time and a great fund-raiser for Manistee Cross-Country.  (Add $5 to register on race day, from 8:45-9:45am)

Unique medals are awarded to the top 3 finishers in each age category for the run, with medals to the top 5 overall male and female walkers.  Trophies to the overall winners.  Stay around afterward for hot chocolate and cookies!

Age divisions for the the run are – male and female: 10-under, 11-13, 14-16, 17-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, and 70+up. For the walk – male and female division only.
