Form A Team

Forming a team and participating in the Jingle Bell Run/Walk for Arthritis is a great way to give back each holiday season.

Form A JBR Team

As a team captain, you’ll feel good knowing that your group made a difference in the fight against arthritis. You’ll build camaraderie and increase your visibility in the community, while participating in a healthy activity. As a team, you’ll be eligible for great team prizes. But most of all, running or walking as part of a team is fun!
