Event
The Jingle Run for Hope is the 11th annual 5K run/walk held in Morristown, TN on December 13, 2025. The event raises funds for local cancer care. The race offers both timed and untimed options and uses chip timing for official results. Results are available after the race via the QR code on the official race bib.
Course and parking
The course starts near the entrance to East Tennessee Diamond Company and travels east to a first turnaround at Evans Ave. Participants return west, cross Cumberland Ave., and turn left onto Peavine Alley (the first left after 1907 Brewing Company). The route follows a parking lot (bear right) to Henry St., then turns back onto West Main St., continuing west to a final turnaround at West Main St. and Fairmont Ave., with the finish at the start/finish line. There is ample public parking in downtown Morristown; the largest public lot is located directly behind East Tennessee Diamond Company. Parking in private lots may result in towing, with examples given for HealthStar Physicians, Burger King, and PetSense.
