The Event
Imagine the sound of thousands of bells jingling as people from all over Indiana run, walk and cheer in the 25th Annual Indianapolis Jingle Bell Run/Walk for Arthritis® presented locally by OrthoIndy. Bells will be ringing as 3,500 people like you tie jingle bells to their shoelaces, don festive holiday costumes and join friends and neighbors in support of the Arthritis Foundation's mission to improve lives through leadership in the prevention, control and cure of arthritis and related diseases. The Jingle Bell Run/Walk for Arthritis® raises awareness of the nation's most common cause of disability, while raising desperately needed funds to find a cure for arthritis.
