Description
This December 2026, join us for the resurrection of the beloved Roanoke winter race: the Jingle Bell 5K! This event features a flat and (mostly) flat course along the Roanoke River Greenway with ample space at the start/finish line for celebrating the season. Finisher "medals" will be custom ornaments with the event logo and year, and participants who register by November 10 will also earn a cozy event BoCo gear beanie. This is a chip-timed race by Run Roanoke timing, and all results will be posted on the Run Roanoke website after race day as well as a day-of live text of results. Don't let the "race" name scare you away- this event is a family-friendly fitness outing! After you finish, participants may purchase coffee or hot chocolate from the Covenant Coffee truck or enjoy finish line snacks as you await your friends and family crossing the finish line. More details forthcoming on additional finish line festivities and register early! Registration increases are incremental through race day. There is a "no frills" option for those looking to find a budget-friendly way to bring the whole family (and there will be an option to add-on the cute event beanie if you want one to share as a family).
