The Jeff Jog

🎉 The Jeff Jog

Celebrating 60 Years of Miles, Smiles, and Memories!

🏃‍♂️ Event Overview

Join us for the Jeff Jog 1-Mile Fun Run, a one-time only event to celebrate Jeff’s 60th birthday and his incredible journey as a runner, friend, and community leader! This race is a celebration of Jeff’s love for running and a chance to honor his passion before he shifts gears due to a foot injury that’s sidelining him from future runs.

Whether running, jogging, walking, or cheering, this fun run is about fun, laughter, and making lasting memories. It’s Jeff’s way of bringing everyone together for one special jog to celebrate the miles he’s run and the lives he’s touched.

🎊 What’s on Tap

• Birthday cheer: Birthday cheer along the whole path!
• Exclusive swag: Exclusive Jeff-Themed Swag: Commemorative bibs, medals, and shirts to mark the occasion.
• Post-race party: Music, snacks, and a celebration of Jeff’s running legacy.
