12ks for the Holidays

The "12Ks for the Holidays" is a festive running event held annually in Jackson, Mississippi, serving as a fundraiser for the Good Samaritan Center. Celebrating its fifteenth year in 2024, the event features a 12K run, a 5K run, and a 5K walk, all set in the scenic Cedars of Fondren neighborhood. Participants can also join a free "I Ran With Santa" fun run for children.
