Weather on race day was in the mid to high 20s. After a major blizzard and an unseasonable cold snap conditions marked by full sun made for an excellent Jingle Bell 10K Run/ 5K Run/Walk in Madison over the weekend.
A few hundred hardy souls came out with their holiday attire to run the UW Arboretum course to benefit national and local efforts to treat and cure arthritis. Runners and walkers in Madison raised just under $30,000 in support of friends and neighbors whose ability to move freely is restricted by inflamed and painful joints.

Now that is cold! I ran in a 5K race over the wknd in Frisco, TX -called the Frosty 5K, weather in the 40s, which I thought was cold, but nothing compared to the weather in Madison, WI.
Nice article & photos, James. I missed doing JBR this year, but it's always a good time for a good cause. Thanks for covering it.
