## About

The second morning of Sausalito's Winterfest weekend is a festive run along the waterfront. The Jingle Bell 5K starts at 8:30 AM on Sunday, December 13, on Humboldt Avenue, and children get their own Reindeer Dash fun run at 9:15 AM, after the adults are out on the course. Same-day bib pickup opens at 7:30 AM. The organizers bill the morning as a mix of running and family activities, and the event program also lists a Jingle Paws element for dogs and a brunch at The Spinnaker restaurant that needs a separate reservation. It follows the Saturday-night Lighted Boat Parade and fireworks, so families can make a weekend of it in Sausalito. Registration details, including fees, are handled through the Winterfest registration link; the event pages do not print the entry prices.
