The Monroe Jingle Bell Run was established in 2015 and began as a Half-marathon & 5K. We have since revamped the Jingle Bell Run to consist of a 10K, 5K, and Fun Run with a 2-fold mission. The first is to encourage our community to embrace a more active lifestyle and the second is to support local Scouting programs. The race will begin and end in Forsythe Park.
The Monroe Jingle Bell Run will raise funds to support local Scouts in Northeast & Central Louisiana through our At-Risk program, scholarships to Camp T.L. James and Camp Attakapas, direct and indirect support. It will help ensure that EVERY youth has the opportunity to be part of a great organization that will develop our future leaders of tomorrow no matter what social background or economic status. Scouting is needed more today than ever before.
