Tips & Advice
- Come in festive fancy dress. It's highly encouraged, and you'll join a crowd of jingling Santas around Frimley Lodge Park.
- Register online before it closes on 4 December to avoid the surcharge on every entry made on the day.
- Collect your race pack well before your start, since the 5K goes first and the Fun Run follows the trophy presentation.
- Print the free 'I'm Jingle Jogging for…' or 'in memory of…' sign and pin it to your t-shirt to show who you're running for.
- If you're bringing under-16s, plan for an adult to stay with them for the whole run, because that is required.
