Jolly Jog at Trees on the Tees

Oh What Fun It Is to Run!

Friday, December 11 | Hickory Point Golf Course | Trees on the Tees

The Jolly Jog is back with a brand-new home! This year we’re teaming up with the Decatur Park District to run through Trees on the Tees, a 1.4-mile loop lined with light displays and decorated Christmas trees at Hickory Point Golf Course. We head out right after sunset, before the evening walking tours, so you’ll see the lights glowing as you go.

Dashing Through the Course

The Trees on the Tees loop is roughly 1.4 miles. Here’s the route so you don’t get lost: Garmin Route

This is a fun run/walk. It’s not timed, just bragging rights! Run, jog, or stroll.

If there’s snow or ice on the path, the event may switch to walk-only or be adjusted. We’ll send updates by email.
