Jolly Jog

The holiday spirit fills the air as runners prepare for the highly anticipated 16th Annual Jolly Jog on November 14, 2026. This year’s edition promises to be bigger and more festive than ever before. Participants can choose between a competitive timed run of either 5km or 10km distances, designed to challenge athletes while celebrating the joyous season.
For those looking for a less strenuous but equally enjoyable experience, there's also a fun run that welcomes joggers of all ages and fitness levels. The event not only offers an opportunity to engage in physical activity but also supports a great cause—Kawartha Lakes Food Source, ensuring food security for the community during the holiday season.
Registration closes online on November 13th at 6:00 PM, with race day registration available until 8:30 AM. The start and finish lines are located at Auk's Lodge within Fleming College, situated at 200 Albert Street in Lindsay, Ontario. Athletes can check-in inside the lodge before heading out to enjoy a scenic route through charming local streets.
Parking is conveniently available at the adjacent rec centre lot or along nearby Albert St and Adelaide St for those who need additional space. To keep participants hydrated throughout their run, there will be one water station located on Elgin Street at the 2.5km mark of both race routes.
Join us in making this year’s Jolly Jog a memorable event filled with community spirit and festive cheer!
