Somerville Jingle Bell Run

Now in its 46th year, the Bill Rodgers Somerville Jingle Bell Run & Walk takes place in Davis Square, Somerville, Massachusetts on December 14, 2025. The festive 5K course starts and ends in Davis Square and winds through Somerville’s streets and squares. After crossing the finish line, participants celebrate with a post-race party held at several local bars, with Jack’s Abby as the official beer sponsor.

The event encourages costumes and collecting unwrapped toys or gift cards to benefit needy children, with drop-off at local partner locations. Proceeds support the local running community, and awards are given in multiple divisions. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
