How much does it cost to register?
Fees are the same for team members and individual participants. Visit the registration page on jbr.org/Sacramento for the schedule of fees and deadlines.
When does online registration close?
Wednesday, December 12th; in person registration is still offered at Packet Pick up, or Day of Event.
How do I get my packet?
Packet pick-up for all Jingle Bell Run Sacramento participants will be held at Fleet Feet Sacramento (2311 J St, Sacramento, CA 95816) from 10:00am-6:00pm
Where do I park?
There will be a parking lot near Crocker Park. We highly recommend using public transportation. There are many parking garages nearby.
Do I have to fundraise?
The purpose of this Sacramento holiday tradition is to raise money for the Arthritis Foundation. While there is no fundraising minimum, we highly encourage each registrant to raise a minimum of $150. Participants can do this using their online fundraising headquarters, which is automatically created at the time of registration. Other fundraising ideas are a letter writing campaign, jeans day at work, garage sales, bake sales and more!
How do I turn in my donations?
Any donations that are not made online can be sent to:
Arthritis Foundation, Inc.
Attn: JBR Sacramento
1851 Heritage Lane, Suite 183
Sacramento, CA 95815
Please note that in your personal fundraising HQ (online) you can enter these donations as pledges. This allows for all donations to be added to your fundraising total immediately. If you have questions, please email us. Last minute donations can also be turned in on race day at the Registration Tent at Crocker Park
Are dogs allowed?
Yes! Please bring your furry friends with you!
Is there a Costume Contest?
Yes! Please don your most festive snowflake, elf, Starbucks coffee mug, Mr. & Mrs. Claus, or any other costume you like. There will be an Ugly Sweater Contest, which takes place at 9:30am
Do I have to run/walk with my teammates?
No! It's wonderful if you all want to run/walk together, but we understand that everybody has a different pace. Whether you are on a team or not, you are free to register for any of the race waves or the Kids' 1k Fun Run.
Are there awards for top finishers?
Medals will be awarded to all participants. Medals will also be awarded to the top three overall male and female chip timed runners in the 5k.
I will be out of town/busy on December 14th - can I still get a shirt and/or fundraise?
Yes! You can still participate and fundraise with a team or as an individual if you aren’t able to attend the Jingle Bell Run. Just click the "register" button and when you are asked to designate a registration type, choose "Jingle in your Jammies". You will receive a shirt, and your registration fee will be greatly appreciated by the Arthritis Foundation!
Are registration fees refundable?
No, if you are unable to attend the Jingle Bell Run (for any reason), your registration fee will be considered a donation to the Arthritis Foundation and you can still pick up your shirt at the Foundation office. The Arthritis Foundation reserves the right to cancel the Jingle Bell Run, and in this event all registration fees will be used as donations to the Arthritis Foundation.
