Jingle Bell Run & Roll on Dec. 20 at Pico Park

Bike Winthrop and the Winthrop Run Club have teamed up to host the first ever Jingle Bell Run & Roll through some of Winthrop’s most festively lit and decorated streets. Participants can choose to run, bike, stroller or scooter along the mostly flat 1.8 mile ride that starts and ends at the entrance to Pico Park at the bottom of Pico Ave. Decorating begins at 5:30 (we’ll have bells and glow sticks but encourage folks to bring additional lights and decorations for their bikes/bodies) and the run/ride begins at 6:00. End with a stop at the famous Sunnyside light show and warm up with free hot chocolate. Bike lights are required (limited supply of extras will be on hand) and warm, holiday attire is encouraged. All ages and abilities welcome! Details on Facebook at https://tinyurl.com/JingleBellWinthrop
