## About

A holiday night run that finishes inside the new Rhode Island Lights Festival at Centreville Bank Stadium in Pawtucket. The youth run for children 12 and under starts at 3:30 pm, before the 4:00 pm Jingle 5K, and runners race through the stadium's light displays to the finish. Every registered runner then gets entry into the festival's light displays, entertainment, holiday market and seasonal food. Children under 2 are free, and family members who are not running can buy festival admission during registration. The race collects toys for Toys for Tots at packet pickup at Marathon Sports. Youth registration closes December 12 at 8 pm.
