Whitehall Area Rotary Club: Jingle Bell Run registration underway

Registration is now open for Whitehall Area Rotary Club’s eighth annual Jingle Bell 8-K Run/5-K Walk, set for Dec. 7.

On race day, check-in will be 7-8:45 a.m. at the American Club of Coplay pavilion, 300 Cherry St.

The run will have a rolling start beginning 9 a.m. The race will be timed by Bryn Mawr Racing Company.

Walkers are not timed and will start after the last runners have cleared the start line.

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

Post-race festivities will be held at the finish line at the pavilion. Highlights include food (hot dogs, soup bar, hot chocolate bar), kids’ activities, pet and child photos with Santa and a basket raffle.

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.

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

There is an entry fee. A student discount is available. The cost includes a race shirt (for those registering before Nov. 18), chip timing, bibs and food.

Proceeds benefit the club’s foundation and community projects, including supporting local veterans organizations, food banks and youth initiatives.
