The certified 5K course weaves through the beautiful roads of the Gateway community, creating the perfect environment for both competition and connection. Strollers are welcome, fun costumes are encouraged, and all ages are invited to participate. Last year we SOLD OUT. We expect to double in size and sell out again this December.

Mark your calendar for Saturday, December 6th and kick off the holiday season with purpose, community, and a whole lot of jingle!
Gateway Community Fund
While hosting an unforgettable event for our community is something we’re passionate about, the true heartbeat of the Gateway Jingle Jog is the impact it makes through the Gateway Community Fund.
This fund exists to bring joy, support, and encouragement to the Gateway area all year long. It helps us create family-friendly events, partner with local schools and businesses, and step in to meet tangible needs when families are facing hard times.
Thanks to last year’s race, we were able to partner with Gateway Services CDD to host multiple community events, provide meals and gifts for local teachers, launch a huge Fall Festival, and most importantly—bless families in need, like Cole’s. (You’ll read more about his story below!)
We’re excited and expectant for what’s to come in 2026—and it all starts with your support in this year’s race.
This Year's FEATURE Fundraiser: Supporting "Courageous Cole"
This year, 20% of all funds raised through the Gateway Jingle Jog will go directly to support Cole, a courageous 9-year-old from our community who was recently diagnosed with a rare and aggressive brain tumor. Cole’s family is walking this road with faith and hope, and we want to surround them with practical support and encouragement.
By registering for the race, you’re already supporting their family. If you'd like to go above and beyond, additional donations can be made easily by clicking the "Donate Now" button on the registration page. Write out "Courageous Cole" in the box meant for a personal message, and we will ensure your additional donation is given directly to Cole's family!
Let’s run with purpose—and make a difference together.
