Thank you to the nearly 100 runners and walkers that braved the snowy conditions and came out for the 18th Annual Manistee Jingle Bell Jog 5K Run & Walk during Sleighbell Weekend in Manistee. Participants were greeted by four inches of fresh snow overnight, but the City of Manistee DPW did a great job getting the streets cleared for competition.
1st overall runner was Manistee Sophomore Eddie Huizinga, clocking in at 19:11. His coach, Ashley Lancaster, was the first woman finisher at 22:39. Todd and Elizabeth Christy defended their titles in the walk division, finishing in 43:59 and 44:53 respectively.
Results: OVERALL BY GROUP
The race raises funds for the Manistee Area Schools Cross-Country programs. Thank you to all of our sponsors! We couldn't do this without you!
