Get your jingle on! Registration is now open for Whitehall Area Rotary Club’s seventh annual Jingle Bell 8-K run/5-K walk. The club is welcoming runners and walkers of all ages and abilities to participate in this fun annual event, to be held Dec. 2.

On race day, registration will open 7-8:45 a.m. at the pavilion at American Club of Coplay, 300 Cherry St. Race packets, bibs and shirts can be picked up there.

The run will have a rolling start beginning 9 a.m., and participants will be chip timed for the duration of the race. The race will be professionally timed by Bryn Mawr Racing Company. Walkers are not timed and will start after the last runners have cleared the starting area.

The 8-K course is flat and fast and starts right below the embankment on the Ironton Rail Trail at the Coplay pavilion. The 5-K course is flat and dog friendly.

Post-race festivities will be held at the finish line at the American Club pavilion, Coplay. Highlights include food (hot dogs, soup bar and hot chocolate bar), kids’ activities, pet and child photos with Santa and a basket raffle. Every dog will receive a pair of reindeer antlers!

Cash awards will be presented to the first- through third-place overall male and female runners. Awards will also be presented to the top two male and female finishers in six age categories ranging from 19 and under to 60 and over.

Runners and walkers can register online at runsignup.com/race/pa/coplay/jinglebell8krun5kwalk.

The cost for runners and walkers is cheaper when registered before Nov. 18. A student discount is also available. The entry fee includes a race shirt (for those registering before Nov. 18), chip timing, bibs and food.

Proceeds benefit Whitehall Area Rotary Foundation and the ongoing community programs/projects of the club, including support of local veterans’ organizations, food banks and youth initiatives.
