2023-jingle-run

The sights and sounds of the holiday season come running into Washington on Saturday when the square hosts the annual Jingle Bell 5K Fun Run. Participants are invited to take part in a one-mile walk or run around the square or a 5K course that weaves through Washington’s streets including downtown and Sunset Park, beginning at JPs 207 on Main Street. The cost is $25 for those 10 and older and $10 for those under 10. Early registration participants will receive jingle bells and a t-shirt. Pets are welcome and encouraged, as are costumes, themes, and a good time. Event organizer, Steve Roth, talked with KCII News about the run, “It’s a fun time, it’s the 25th. We start registration at 8 o’clock, at JP’s, that’s where the race starts, and then the race starts at 9 o’clock, and we encourage you to dress up, we encourage you to bring your animals, your animal friends, your fur babies, whatever you want to bring.”  Registration information is available on the event’s Facebook page and can also be done the morning of the race at JPs 207 beginning at 8 a.m. Awards and prizes will follow inside. The KCII Big Red Radio will be live at the Jingle Bell Fun Run on Saturday morning.
