Jingle Bell 5k Relay

The Jingle Bell 5k Relay is a December running event held in Riverfront Park in Salem, Oregon, starting in the early evening. Participants run 5 kilometers by completing a 1k loop within the park’s Holiday Light Display, individually or as a team relay. Teams can consist of one runner or multiple participants, accommodating both solo runners completing all five loops and groups dividing the distance. Relay teams exchange a glow stick to the next runner, rather than a traditional baton, complementing the holiday-light atmosphere. Fleet Feet organizes the event, with team entry fees set at $10.
