Jingle Bell Run Planning Committee

We are in the very early stages of planning a Jingle Bell Run 5K that will be held in Iowa City in November 2025! We are looking for volunteers to help by serving as committee chairs. These chair-people will be helping coordinate/oversee categories including: Entertainment chair (potential band/musician for post-race entertainment, carolers for along the race route, Santa for pictures, etc.), volunteer chair (help recruit volunteers for planning process and race day, assist with coordinating day-of volunteer tasks), In-Kind Donation Chair (reach out to local businesses to inquire about donations for event), and Participant Recruitment/Engagement Chair (help post about the event on website and by placing signage around Iowa City, connect with U of I and other local universities to encourage student participation), & more! This will be a fun-filled, holiday themed event for all ages!
