Tips & Advice

  • Come decked out in festive gear and jingle bells, because dressing up is part of the fun at this Arthritis Foundation run.
  • Pick the timed 5K if you want official results, or the untimed 5K for the same race-day experience without the clock.
  • Bring the dog and the stroller, because both are welcome on race day at Fawick Park.
  • Be sure of your plans before you register, because registration fees and donations can't be refunded.
  • Sign up as a Virtual Jingler if you can't be there in person; you still get a shirt and can fundraise.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Virtual Jingler option for people who can't attend: you get a shirt and can still fundraise.
