Henderson Kiwanis to host holiday glow run for children’s literacy

Runners and walkers can lace up their shoes and tie on a pair of jingle bells Friday, Dec. 18, when the Henderson Kiwanis Club hosts its inaugural Jingle Bell Glow Fun Run in downtown Henderson. The event, presented by Texas Farm Bureau, is scheduled for 6 p.m. at Campfire Coffee Co., 100 E. Main St. Participants can choose a 5K fun run or a one-mile run or walk. The club is inviting families, casual walkers and experienced runners to take part. Organizers will provide glow accessories and small bells to attach to participants’ shoes. Santa hats, festive outfits and wearable Christmas lights are welcome. Proceeds will support Little One’s Literacy, a Henderson Kiwanis program that helps provide free books to local children through Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. Online registration closes at 6 p.m. Dec. 18. Participants can sign up and find entry fees and start times for each distance at https://runsignup.com/Race/TX/Henderson/JingleBellGlowFunRun.
