Local runners show their holiday spirit at the Jingle Jog 5K in Sarasota

The Christmas spirit was on full display at the Jingle Jog 5K at The Haven of Sarasota Dec. 7.

With a morning temperature of 48 degrees, runners had a reason to add some festive layers to their usual running attire, although much of it wasn't for warmth.

Some donned antlers, others Santa hats, and some even wore Christmas lights around their necks as they ran the 5K race that is presented by the Manasota Track Club.

Jonathan Zagroba of Bradenton won the race with a time of 18:18.20. Heather Butcher of Nokomis was the first female contestant to cross the finish line with a time of 19:53.20.

But the end results weren't much of a focus as many of the "runners" took up to an hour to finish.

Participants enjoyed bananas, apples, hamburgers, hotdogs, and even Kona shaved ice while sharing laughs and support for runners completing their race.
