2012 Jingle Bell 5K Run/1 Mile Walk

Cape Girardeau, MO -- December 8, 2012 (Results @ Cape Road Runners: (http://www.caperoadrunners.org/results.htm)

312 total entrants to this annual event which raises funds for Arthritis research.

This course is hilly with a long, double-crestng hill during the 3rd mile as you move up Gordonville Road toward the hospital.  Despite the hills, this course runs deceptively fast.

Sandy Duncan again coordinates this event and, like past years, does a fantastic job from start to finish. 

When asked about the event, Sandy stated "The Jingle Bell Run had a record attendance this year-over 300.  It was great to see so many people come out for a great cause.  It's always a fun way to kick off the holidays."
