Jolly Jog Fun Run/Walk - Durham
The Jolly Jog 5K Fun Run/Walk takes place on December 12, 2026 in Durham, North Carolina. The event is organized around an out and back 3.1 Miles course that begins at the Fleet Feet Durham - Southpoint store and proceeds to the American Tobacco Trail.
Paid registration includes entry to the 5K, a Santa suit (one size fits most), and entry into festive raffles. Registration pricing is tiered: $25 through the end of November, $30 through December 11, and $35 on the morning of the event. Registration for kids 10 and under is free and includes a Santa hat; families may purchase a Santa suit for a child for an additional $10, with the suit fitting like an adult large. General registration opens on September 30 and closes at the end of November; the kids registration remains open later.
Santa suit pickup is scheduled at multiple Fleet Feet store locations in the days before the event, including Fleet Feet Ninth St, Fleet Feet Durham - Southpoint, and Fleet Feet Carrboro.
The event partners with Soleful Kicks to raise awareness and encourage community support. Soleful Kicks is a nonprofit that provides new sneakers to young people who complete a free 10 week Winter Challenge that rewards positive activities with credits toward a new pair of shoes.
