The annual Jingle Bell 5k Run/1k Kids Walk for Toys for Tots will take place at 9 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 18 right outside of St. Cloud Orthopedics in the Sartell Medical Campus.
The event raises money for Toys for Tots and typically provides about one-third of toys for the program, all of which go to children in central Minnesota.
For more information about the event, how to register for it and/or how to contribute toys or money, go online to jinglebellrun.isyourrace.com.
The Sartell City Council at a recent meeting agreed to allow some street closings from 9 a.m.-10 p.m. in the race/walk area.
The Jingle Bell Run/Walk is sponsored by St. Cloud Orthopedics, with partnership from the St. Cloud Hospital Bone and Joint Clinic, the BLEND program funded by CentraCare Health Foundation and by Agency 128.
