The "Jingle Bell Trot" is an endurance event held at Freeman Lake Park, offering participants a festive run through Christmas in the Park, featuring twinkling lights and holiday decorations. Proceeds from the event support the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program and the Elizabethtown Rotary Club's educational initiatives. Participants receive a finisher's medal, and awards are given to the top three male and female runners in two age categories. Santa Claus makes a special appearance, and a Hot Cocoa and Cookies party follows the race, enhancing the holiday spirit for all attendees.
