Jingle Jog, Jingle Jog, Jingle all the way! | Festive 5k returns to Hendersonville

 

October 19, 2022 - We ho-ho-hope to see you on Saturday, December 17th at 8:30am, in downtown Hendersonville, for the 2nd Annual Hope for the Holidays Jingle Jog! Our goal with this 5k/Fun Run/ Walk is to bring our community together to raise awareness about substance misuse and serve those who need support in their recovery journey.

 

The 5k course starts and finishes in downtown Hendersonville and runs through nearby neighborhood streets. No event is complete without treats, and good things come to those who race! All finishers will select a custom HOPE ornament off the tree as their ‘finisher’s medal.’ Cookies and a fantastic hot chocolate bar will be waiting for participants at the finish line. All ages and abilities are welcome. Holiday attire is especially welcomed for this festive winter race!

Gather your family and friends, dust off your festive outfits, and join the fun! Can’t join us in person? There’s a virtual race and donation options, too! Registration is now open HERE!
