Take part in Grace Episcopal’s Christmas Carol Classic with a 5K Jingle Bell Run and 1-Mile Holiday Stroll in historic downtown Cullman, and make this cheeriest of races an annual holiday tradition! The event coincides with Cullman’s Christkindlmarket and the race route will take in some of the festival’s sites and sounds as it journeys past Festhalle Marketplatz, through Cullman’s scenic warehouse shopping district, and the beautiful neighborhoods and townscapes surrounding the Church.
Jingle bells will accompany race bibs. Holiday attire is encouraged. Well-behaved leashed pets are welcome. (Be sure to bring your furry family members back for our annual community-wide Blessing of the Animals in celebration of the Feast of St. Francis the first week in October.)
Water and Christmas carols will be supplied along the race route. Post-race goodies include coffee, hot chocolate, Christmas cookies and standard race recovery fare.
Overall and age group awards will be given following the fun run finish at approximately 9:30 am.
Participants are invited to tour the Grace Episcopal Sanctuary and Parrish Hall, Carriage House and historic Arnold House. The Church is located 2 blocks from Christkindlmarket, which will be open following race day activities.
Proceeds will benefit community nonprofits and other Grace missions.
