Jingle Jog 5K

Celebrate that Holiday Spirit

The 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 begin at Fiddlin' Fish Brewing, continue along Long Branch paved trail and return along Research Parkway corridor on the edge of downtown. The untimed Santa Strut will be a one loop course (0.7 miles) where family, friends and pooches can strut their stuff. The post-race celebrations for both events are at Fiddlin' Fish Brewing, just a quick strut from the start/finish line. 

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 our event charity partner, Ruff Love Rescue. Don’t have a pet of your own? Each year our charity partner 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!
