Jingle Dash 10K, 5K, and Fun Run

The Jingle Dash 10K, 5K, and Fun Run is a holiday-themed community race in South Riding. A short Fun Run is held first, followed by the 5K and 10K. The Fun Run begins at 8:00 AM, and the two longer races start immediately after, allowing families, walkers, newer runners, and faster racers to participate together on the same morning. The event embraces the season: runners are encouraged to wear costumes or ugly sweaters, and the streets fill with bells and holiday cheer. After finishing, participants can warm up with hot chocolate or coffee and remain for the awards.
