The name sounds gross, but that hasn’t stopped the Egg Nog Jog from taking over the hills of Mount Adams for 27 years.
This annual event invites runners and walkers to take to the festive and frigid streets of the neighborhood and Eden Park for a 5k. An awards ceremony with egg nog and bagels takes place after the race.
10 a.m.-noon Saturday (Dec. 15). $25; $30 race day. Chapter Mount Adams, 940 Pavilion St., Mount Adams, facebook.com/runningtimeraceservices.
