Event Information

The Arthritis Foundation’s original Jingle Bell Run is a fun way to get decked out and be festive, while racing to raise funds and awareness to cure America’s #1 cause of disability. Participants will gather indoors at Exploration Place for the 32nd Annual Jingle Bell Run in Wichita! Participants can choose a 5k run, a 5k walk or a 1-mile option. All routes will take place along the picturesque Arkansas River. All participants will receive a T-shirt and a finisher's medal, and all attendees are invited to enjoy a post-race hamburger or hot dog cooked up by the Wichita Wagonmasters.
