About the Jingle Bell 5K
The Jingle Bell 5K covers the first loop of the half marathon course, circling the campus of Northern Essex Community College in Haverhill, Massachusetts, and finishing back at the starting line. The race site calls the course very easy, and it is aimed at families and runners of all levels. It is held on a Sunday in early December, and the post-race party is at the college.
