Event summary
Get ready to celebrate the holiday spirit at the Jingle Jog 5K and Santa Strut on Saturday, December 20, 2025, in Winston-Salem, Forsyth! This beloved Triad tradition, which began in 2015, has relocated to Winston-Salem, allowing for an even bigger and more festive holiday run. The 5K race kicks off at Fiddlin' Fish Brewing, taking you along the picturesque Long Branch paved trail and back through the Research Parkway corridor, right at the heart of downtown. For those looking for a shorter adventure, the untimed Santa Strut offers a fun 0.7-mile loop where family, friends, and even your furry companions can strut their stuff.
Join in the post-race celebrations at Fiddlin' Fish Brewing, just steps from the start and finish line. Participants in the 5K will enjoy a chip-timed event with awards for top finishers, while all participants can run, jog, or walk at their own pace. Don’t forget to bring your leashed pets! For just a $5 add-on, your dog can get their own race bib and treat, with proceeds benefiting Ruff Love Rescue. With one-of-a-kind finishers medals
