Jingle Jog 5K

Celebrate that Holiday Spirit

The 2021 Jingle Jog 5K and Santa Strut has been a Triad holiday tradition since it began in 2015. The race originated in High Point but has now relocated to Winston-Salem so we are able to expand on the festive holiday run and fun. 

The 5K race will take place on the Long Branch paved trail on the edge of downtown. The post race celebrations are at Radar Brewing, walking distance from the start/finish line. The 1 mile Sant Strut will be a 2 loop course and finish at Radar Brewing.

Participants in the 5K enjoy a chip timed event with awards for top finishers. You are welcome to run, jog or walk either event distance. Leashed pets are encouraged to not only come to the event, but also to participate! Your doggo can get their own race bib and treat with a $5 add on at registration. All proceeds from the pooch race bibs go to Ruff Love Rescue, our event charity partner. Don’t have a pet of your own? Each year Ruff Love works to bring adoptable dogs to the event for participants interested in running with a pooch! First come basis!

This is a truly festival family (friends and pooches included) holiday event for all. Come join us in Winston-Salem for a great run and some Christmas fun!
