The holiday season is just around the corner and your San Marcos Sights & Sounds of Christmas will be celebrating its 35th anniversary in 2021. As a 501c3 with an annual budget just under $600,000, we are always looking for opportunities to raise money with the best interest of our community in mind.
A little over a decade ago, past president Brian Olson established Santa’s Jingle Bell Run, which has become the largest 5K in Hays Country with over 1,000 runners. Olson credits our success to former race directors Jill Holechek and Rebecca Rounds. Santa’s Jingle Bell Run is the only official 5K race with a course that incorporates downtown San Marcos and our Historical District to highlight the beauty of our community.
This year, Sights & Sounds is excited to team up with For the Love of Go, a non-profit that manages races throughout Hays County. They provide opportunities for all to get off the couch and reach their fitness goals. This concerted effort will result in reducing the obesity rate in our county — or anywhere.
