Join us on December 5th at 9am for a festive 2K Walk and 5K Run supporting the incredible work of the Care Center Foundation, an organization dedicated to uplifting under resourced families through high-quality childcare and education, family programs, holiday meals, and social services.

Grab your Santa hat, slip on your holiday gear, and gather your loved ones for a morning filled with fun and holiday cheer. Whether you’re a seasoned runner or simply out for a jolly stroll, everyone is welcome on the course to support this great cause!

And yes, Santa and his elves will be there to greet participants, pose for photos, and cheer you on as you glide across the finish line.

From jingling bells to ugly sweaters, we encourage everyone to show off their holiday spirit and make the event their own. The first annual jingle run is more than a race, it’s an opportunity to gather as a community, celebrate the season, and make a difference in the lives of our most vulnerable West Chester neighbors. With our cheerful elf mascot leading the way, every step helps support a greater cause.

Make the Jingle Run YOUR holiday tradition! See you at the starting line!
