Holiday Run-Walk Fun in TC and Glen Arbor

Calling all elves!
By Lynda Wheatley | Dec. 10, 2021

It’s a weekend of run, walk, and shop until you drop in Lower Michigan’s pinkie. On Saturday, Dec. 18, you can don your ugliest Christmas sweater for Cherry Republic’s Miracle Mile fun run (register at Cherry Republic Public House in Glen Arbor at 10:30am; the run takes off at 11am), then stick around the village that afternoon to shop small and eat local. On Sunday, Dec. 19, in Traverse City, you can do it again — a 5K this time; not timed — for the Jingle Bell Run, which starts at Workshop Brewing Co. and rolls through downtown TC. Free cookies and hot chocolate afterward; shopping and more eating, if you like, after that. runsignup.com/jinglebellrun
