Ever wanted to race your friends, family and neighbors down Battlefield Blvd? Well, the Holly Jolly Jog is back for a 2nd year! A family-friendly, 1 mile fun run and race before the Chesapeake Rotary Christmas Parade will give you the chance to do exactly that. 30 minutes before the start of the Christmas parade, lace up and run, jog, or walk the route - under the lights - and being cheered on by thousands of your Chesapeake friends and family. Add to the festivities with Christmas lights, pjs, ugly sweaters and costumes (no full Santa costumes allowed - theres only one Santa in the parade).
