Thank you for supporting our community and for staying active throughout the holidays!

The route is set! Here is the link to take a look at how we will be getting to our pancake breakfast this year! We will be doing a 5K distance, but we aren’t an official course. We are just looking to stay active and healthy through the holidays, and running a 5K is a great way to do that!

There will be no fee to participate in our Jolly Jingle Jog, as it is not meant to be a race, but rather a time to get together with other friends who enjoy moving on our own two feet. However, we do ask that you bring a bag of groceries for the RiverWorks Food Shelf to help our neighbors in need. Key items needed by the food shelf are listed below.

The Pancake Breakfast is Back!

Once again, Our Father’s Lutheran Church has stepped up to provide us runners (and anyone who participates in the Crow River Christmas celebration) with an awesome pancake breakfast! If you weren’t feeling too motivated before, you certainly must be psyched to run, now! The pancake breakfast is $5. If you would like to not worry about carrying money with you while you run, here a link to pre-pay for your pancake breakfast! What a great idea – thanks to Our Father’s Lutheran Church for making it easy for us!
