Jingle Bell Jog

Calling all runners! The Brattleboro Area Chamber of Commerce’s Annual 5K Jingle Bell Jog is a fun family-oriented way to celebrate winter in Brattleboro so lace up your running shoes and join us! 

Check back later in the year for 2025 race details!

This festive 5k race will raise money for the Chamber’s “Skills for Success” scholarship fund which provides assistance to students who will be pursuing a technical, trade or other non-traditional post-secondary education.

The Prestigious Jingle Bell Awards!

Prizes will be awarded to the top three men and women finishers, best costume and the individual or team that raises the most money.  Come dressed as an elf, a grinch, Santa or any holiday inspired character – or just come as you are!  Jingle bells will be provided. 

Entrance Fees

  • Single Runner (18 years old and older) – $20
  • Students 17 and under – Free
  • Special rate for teams of 4 or more – $50 

We encourage runners to collect sponsorships and help build the scholarship! You might win the “Raised the Most Funds” award! Email us at info@brattleborochamber.org for more details.

2024 Race Route

Back to the Brooks House for 2024!  The 5k loop course kicks off in downtown Brattleboro at the Brooks House Atrium turns left at the Harmony Lot entrance, running east on Elliot Street to Main. It then heads north up Main Street where it merges with High Street. The route continues west up High to Western Avenue (route 9) to Williams Street (by Vermont Country Deli). Participants will continue east along the Whetstone Brook before merging back onto Elliot street and heading east all the way – returning to the Harmony lot in back of the Brooks House for the big finish!
