MCRRC Jingle Bell Jog 8K

The MCRRC Jingle Bell Jog 8K is a December road race in Gaithersburg, Maryland, run over five miles under the Montgomery County Road Runners Club banner. It is a community race with official results by net time, and the field is small enough to feel local: the listed results show 204 finishers. The sharp end is quick for an 8K, with Nicolas Crouzier winning in 26:16, followed by Ian Morgan in 26:55 and Charlie Stern in 27:27. The top finishers come from nearby Maryland running towns such as Gaithersburg, Bethesda, Silver Spring, Clarksburg, Rockville, and Potomac, making the race feel like a Montgomery County runners' gathering rather than a destination event.
