Wear your favorite holiday gear, and let's jingle all the way toward a cure! Whether you're running, walking, or strolling, bring your friends, family, and coworkers along for the ride. Together, we're spreading joy and making strides towards a brighter future — saying "YES" to life, despite arthritis.

Are you FAST? As in you are standing between a herd of reindeer and carrots and have to run for your life? Are you FESTIVE? As in the only one that dresses up for holidays at your office/school? Are you GIVING? As in in you always ask others if they want the last piece of cake before you take it? Of course, this list could go on - do you enjoy competition, camaraderie, fun, food, and jolly time? If you answered YES to ANY of these questions, this is the race for you! The long 'running', Jingle Jog race since the 80s, started off simply as a holiday season fun run. Through the years it became more popular and also competitive as it also became the final race of the Orange Runners Club Grand Prix race series and the club's running calendar year. This year, we are USATF-sanctioned and are giving away a long-sleeve thermal shirt to the first 120 registrants! The Jingle Jog has been held in several different locations around the area with various distances and courses. What they all have in common is the holiday flavor with seasonal costumes welcomed and a warm post-race environment with food and drink. In addition, as a timed race and part of the Grand Prix, it is also the last opportunity to pick up more points for the year! However, the best reason to come out and participate is to simply enjoy the holiday season with our running community and friends as the year closes out. This year, all proceeds will go back to the Orange County community by way of the ORC Scholarship and the Sole Purpose shoe campaign! Please check out the "Donate" tab above for additional options to contribute. Additionally, we are collecting toys to give away to a chosen school or organization in the community, so we encourage you to bring a toy to donate!

2026 Date - December 12th Long Island has a rich and deep running culture. There are multiple events every weekend to choose from. However, runners that enjoy longer race distances or trail events have only a few options to choose from over the course of the entire year. This event will provide an opportunity for those that enjoy ultra or trail running to participate in a unique event. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Long Island Greenbelt Trail Conference, who help maintain the trails on Long Island. A backyard ultra is not a race to see who is the fastest but see who can endure the longest. Participants will run 4.167 miles every hour on the hour, but will be required to drop out if they cannot complete the distance in that time period. The final competitor to be able to complete a full loop will be declared the winner. Bib Pick Up Bib numbers will be assigned at check in.

The Snowy Owl Trail Race is a 5 mile trail race through the sweeping trails, overlook, mountaintops, and waterfronts of the Mountain Lakes Park in North Salem NY on Sunday, December 13, 2026. The course starts and ends in the Yurt Village at Camp Morty inside the park. The village features a large firepit with an amphitheater that will serve as the gathering spot for runners before and after the race. The fire pit will have a roaring fire going to warm people up. The race will support trail projects at Mountain Lakes Park. The park has over 10 miles of trails on its 1000+ acres. It also abuts and joins with trail systems from four other parks - two in North Salem NY and two in Ridgefield CT. This extends the trail system to nearly 14 miles. Given that this race is in the winter season there is always the potential for a snowstorm which may throw a wrench into the race plan. In the event of a winter storm on race day the park and organizers may determine the race must be postponed or cancelled. Runners will have a choice of a race transfer or refund. A bit of snow on the ground will not cause the race to be cancelled or postponed.

Celebrate the Holidays with us, you don’t have to run-­-­just enjoy the pancakes if you prefer! Run on beautiful snowy, icy trails. Fall down and get up. Step in ice water streams that have no safe crossing. Climb over, under and around fallen trees. Then return to the warmth of Skyline Lodge for aroma therapy. The smell of butter, pancakes, maple syrup, coffee and sausages fills the air. It is noisy with the chatter and laughing of your friends. An all-you-can-eat breakfast awaits you.

You're allowed to run, walk, skid, slide, wade, struggle and climb the trail. You may freeze. The trail is 9 miles but there are shortcuts allowing runs of various lengths. The full trail takes 80 to 120 minutes to complete. The trail is well-marked so you should not get lost. Time: Start any time between 7:30 and 9:15am. You can start when you please and quit when you are tired and hungry. Run with a partner so that someone will hear you when you admire something interesting. It is safer and partners are plentiful. The first pancake is served at 9:15 and the last pancake is served at 10:45. Gluten Free pancakes will be served by request only….so let us know! If the road to Fabius is open we will run. If the snow is deep, we run on Park Roads. Directions: Highland Forest is in the SE corner of Onondaga County off Route 80, 4M East of Fabius.

Join in our annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day Run! Today, we gather to honor the legacy of Dr. King and his enduring commitment to justice, equality, and peace. Together, we can honor Dr. King’s dream and inspire one another to continue striving for a better world. Forget the massive, impersonal race-day crowds. We keep things small, personal, and local, so every run feels less like a number and more like a memory. Whether it's a 5K, 10K, half-marathon, or virtual run, you'll get the warmth of a hometown event. Overview: Spots sell out FAST! We close each wave the moment it fills. Once a wave sells out, you can grab the virtual run option or join the waitlist. This is a smaller, private group run with a capped field per wave so it never feels crowded and you're never just a bib number. All paces and ages welcome (under 18 with a guardian) - run it, walk it, however you like! There's no gear, no setup, no fuss - just you, the course, and our coordinators cheering you on in a relaxed, stress-free setting. When you sign up, you're not just registering for a race - you're getting real support toward your fitness goals, plus an invite to join one of our local run clubs to keep the momentum going. Timing: Optional! Track your own time via Strava, RunKeeper, Nike Run, or similar, then submit it through our easy online form to get posted. Or just ask a coordinator to help time you. No timing chips - this is about progress, not pressure. What You Get (Swag Bag): - Running T-shirt (shipped to your address - U.S. only) - Finisher's medal - Virtual Training Run (emailed to you a month before your run) - Online results & certificate of completion - Invitation to join a local running club - NEW: Upgrade to a lightweight, moisture-wicking technical shirt for just $5 more Packet Pickup? Skip It. No lines, no hassle - your swag ships straight to your door. (Double check your full U.S. mailing address, including apartment number, when you register as your shirt is sent to this address!) Race bibs are simply handed out on race day. When Will My Swag Arrive? Your shirt will arrive at your mailing address the week of your race. Signing Up Last Minute? (Within 2 Weeks of the Race) No problem - just note that shipping may not catch up in time, so your shirt could arrive after race day. No worries, though: wear whatever you like and come run with us anyway! When Will I Receive the Course Map and Details?
