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.

Runners on a crisp-cold November morning do a good deed – running to raise funds for the Toys for Tots program during the annual Jingle Bell Run/Walk in Sartell’s Medical Campus area.
