Description

JingleDog is a 5k and 1-mile fun run through the beautiful trails of Monroe Falls. 

This 5k is an annual RunningDog fundraiser. RunningDog is a volunteer program in Northeastern OH whose mission is to keep the adoptable dogs physically active, mentally stimulated and emotionally balanced using a running and mentoring program. All funds collected help us recruit, train and equip runners to help us in our mission.

We encourage our runners to bring their furry family member and take advantage of our dog-friendly race. 

All dogs must be on a six-foot leash (or shorter) at all times.  No retractable leashes are allowed for either the 5k or Fun Run.  We strongly encourage participants to keep their dogs 10 feet away from other dogs or other people, whenever possible to minimize any altercations.   

We will have RunningDog volunteers participating in the race with adoptable shelter dogs.  We ask all participants to respect the 10-foot boundary around the shelter dogs and their handlers.  If you are a certified RunningDog volunteer, you are responsible for picking up any dog you would like to bring with you from the race. Please coordinate with the partner shelter prior to pick up.

And if you don't have a dog, don't worry...we will have plenty of holiday cheer for humans too!
