Jingle Bell Bridge Run

Join the Lake Michigan Credit Union Bridge Run & RunGR for a Jingle Bell FUN Run and help kick off the holiday season in the City of Grand Rapids.

The Jingle Bell Bridge Run will start and end at Rosa Parks Circle, after the official City of Grand Rapids Christmas Tree lighting.  The 2 to 3-mile route will be on sidewalks (no road closures) and will take you by the decorations and lights in downtown Grand Rapids.  Oh, and we will be sure to cross a few bridges along the way.  There is no race shirt, no finisher medal, no official timing, NO COST...JUST FUN!

Come dressed to be SEEN for night running, which means maybe devising a way to wear some Christmas lights? 

This year, we are collecting donations to help support the great work of Still I Run. Still I Run, headquartered in Hudsonville, is the nation's only running community and non-profit that works to promote the benefits of running for mental health. We're a community of mental health running warriors where people can share their experience of dealing with mental illness through running or any other type of physical activity. We encourage one another to take time out of our busy lives to run for our mental health. Through various programs we offer, we hope to educate others about running for mental health, raise mental health awareness, provide encouragement to others, and help people experiencing hardship get started in their running journey.
