The Monroe Jingle Bell Run half-marathon is back! This year, we will be offering both a half-marathon and 5K options with a 2-fold mission - the first is to encourage our community to embrace a more active lifestyle and the second is to support local Scouting programs. The race will begin and end in Forsythe Park.

The Monroe Jingle Bell Run will raise funds to support local Scouts in Northeast & Central Louisiana including our programs for at-risk youth and scholarships to Camp T.L. James and Camp Attakapas. It will help ensure that EVERY youth has the opportunity to be part of a great organization that will develop our future leaders of tomorrow no matter what social background or economic status. Scouting is needed more today than ever before.
