Jingle Bell Run Powered by Gazelle Sports and Brooks
The Jingle Bell Run is a free three mile run and walk held in downtown Grand Rapids on November 21, 2026. The event is part of the Grand Rapids Tree Lighting Ceremony and begins after the tree lighting. The start and finish are in the AC Hotel parking lot across Louis St from the Grand Rapids Art Museum.
Gazelle Sports is organizing the event with on-site support from Brooks. There is no official timing, no course marshals, and no event swag. Brooks will have shoes available to try on and will host giveaways at the event. Participants are encouraged to wear festive, bright, and warm holiday attire.
Registration is free and the registration window opens on November 3 and closes on November 21, 2026. The event welcomes runners and walkers and takes place alongside the tree lighting and related downtown activities. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
