Jingle Bell Trail 2013

Our little school has hosted Jingle Bell Trail, a 5K/1M fundraiser fun run for the past 17 years. JBT was the first of the Fayette County school runs and remains, by far, the largest with an average of 800 runners each year.  We are very proud of our run and love to hear tales of runners coming from other cities, counties, and even states (we had runners from Florida, Alabama, and Wisconsin this year!) to run our 5K; we're also very proud that many people register each year simply to obtain one of our very popular t-shirts.  We have an enormous sponsor base and incredible community support.  Donald and I are very proud that Emily was one of the hundreds of runners jingling along the paths last Saturday as she completed her first 5K.  They had a blast and I was able to get some great pictures of them starting out on the course and then crossing the finish line.  We're very proud of our running girl!

Look who stopped by to visit!

Fabulous head gear.

Cici came alone to show her support.

Getting ready to head out - it was REALLY cold on Saturday morning!

Check out the snowman to the right of Emily.  We love our JBT runners who come in costume! There was a whole group of Frosties running together this year.

About to cross the finish line.  Notice that the reindeer antlers have changed heads somewhere along the course!
