JBT race Dec. 5

It’s time to lace up those jingle bells and get ready for the 19th annual Jingle Bell Trail race which is set for Saturday, Dec. 5.

Race organizers are expecting many kids and adults to come to school and participate in the 5-kilometer run, which is part of the Grand Prix Rotary Series, or the more leisurely 1-mile run/walk.  A festive atmosphere is promised for all participants.

This event is designed to boost community spirit, promote wellness, and raise money to support our school improvement focus for the students who attend Peachtree City Elementary.  Our students and staff look forward to this fun holiday event each year because it’s a time to gather with friends and neighbors for a little holiday cheer, and it also gives us an opportunity to burn off some of those holiday goodies.

Applications to enter Jingle Bell Trail are available in the school’s front office, online at www.pces.org and will be distributed to locations throughout Fayette County.  Applications will be accepted until the morning of the race.

The 5-K run will begin in front of the school at 9 a.m. while the 1-mile run/walk will start 10 minutes later.  Participants are encouraged to arrive at the school, located at 201 Wisdom Road, at least 45 minutes early to allow time to park, enjoy the festivities, and warm up.
