2024 MPS Jingle Bell 5K Run and One-Mile Walk
The National MPS Society will host a timed 5K run and 1-mile walk, beginning at 8:00 AM on Friday, December 20. Packet pickup and day of registration will begin at 7:00 AM the same morning.
Lunch is included in the costs. Come out and enjoy a family day with lots of fun and entertainment in store as well!
Not able to join us in person? You can participate virtually.
What exactly IS a Virtual 5K?
It is just like any other 5K, except there is no official race location. You get to choose where, with whom, and even how you want to complete the 5K. By participating virtually, you can run the 5K at any time leading up to December 20. It can even be done in increments, keep track of your distance until you hit the 5K. Register by November 20, 2024 to receive your shirt in time.
How to participate to raise funds and awareness.
This event is open to individuals of all ages and abilities. Once you register, either as an individual or as part of a team, you are set. We would love to see your photos on race day, along the 5K route and/or during the family picnic! This is completely optional - but since our goal is to bring awareness to MPS and ML, we want to do just that. Use #MPSAwareness and tag us in your social media posts, to help us keep up with the fun.
