The Arthritis Foundation Jingle Bell Run/Walks for 2009 are scheduled for Nov. 21 in Portsmouth, Dec. 5 in Concord and Dec. 6 in Freeport, Maine. Local companies are encouraged to form teams to run for the cure of arthritis. Be one of the thousands of runners and walkers who hit the nation's pavement, pathways and parks this winter to fight one of the nation's leading causes of disability.
In addition to forming teams, businesses that sponsor this event with $100 will be recognized in print on the Jingle Bell banner. The banner will be displayed at all three events. Sponsor registration forms with payment must be received by Nov. 9 to participate. For an additional $100 companies can set up a booth in the “Healthy Lifestyles” area.
The Jingle Bell Run/Walk is a fun and festive way to kick off your holidays by helping others. Wear a holiday themed costume, tie jingle bells to your shoelaces and run or walk with your team members and celebrate the season by giving. At the event participants can earn prizes by raising funds and enjoy refreshments and entertainment before and after the race.
Runners can register at portsmouthjbr.kintera.org, freeportjbr.kintera.org or concordjbr.kintera.org.
