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:

FOOD ITEMS

Grains – CEREAL, Pasta

Fruit & Veggies – Mandarin Oranges, Pineapple, Peas

Baking Items – Sugar, Flour, Oil, Sweetened Condensed Milk
