Watch Out: Jingle Bell Jog at Prospect Park On Saturday
PROSPECT PARK – Early this coming Saturday, over 6,000 runners of all ages will fill Prospect Park with the sounds holidays – from jingle bells attached to their sneakers. After crossing the finish line, all runners will get to enjoy hot chocolate and holiday-themed bagels.
The registration is sold out, but there is plenty of space to come out and cheer on the runners who go all out to bring good cheer.
The event benefits Rising New York Road Runners free, year-round youth programs and events that serve approximately 35,000 kids in Brooklyn.

“The energetic spirit of the New York Road Runners demonstrates the best of Brooklyn’s youth. Leading a healthy and physically active lifestyle starts with our youngest Brooklynites, and these athletes embody that mantra,” said Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams after meeting with the students from P.S. 107 who will be running in the race yesterday. “Thanks to the New York Road Runners for the focus on fitness and health for New Yorkers of all ages.”
