Greater Fall River Re-Creation, the Greater Fall River Fitness Challenge, Diman Regional Vocational Technical High School, and Partners for a Healthier Community, Inc., sponsored the 2nd Annual Jingle Run from Kennedy Park to Government Center on December 1st. Kicking off an hour before the annual Holiday Parade, proceeds for the event went to help sponsor the Parade. Runners and walkers were encouraged to wear crazy holiday apparel and to bring jingle bells to make lots of noise on their trip up South Main Street. Fitness Challenge personal trainer Amy Delgiacco Jones organized the runners at the staring line after Fitness Challenge coordinator Annemarie Sharkey signed everyone in. Either walking or running, everyone completed the trip! Click here for the video.
