The event welcomes participants of all ages. Strollers are permitted and costumes are encouraged. Organizers have limited registration to 450 spots for this year; nearly 700 runners took part last year.

The Gateway Jingle Jog supports the Gateway Community Fund. Past community support from the fund includes providing meals for local teachers, a $2,500 gift to a family after a loss, support for Gateway Soccer league activities, and a Fall Festival that brought nearly 2,000 community members together. The fund is intended to support local families, schools, and organizations throughout the year. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
