About the Monroe Jingle Bell Classic Half Marathon
Northeast Louisiana has few December half marathons, and this one has filled that slot since 2015. The race starts and ends in Forsythe Park in Monroe, with entry fees supporting the Louisiana Purchase Council's Scouting programs, including camp scholarships for at-risk youth.
Course
The route loops out of Forsythe Park along the Ouachita River side of Monroe on flat Louisiana roads. It is a local-scale course, so runners should expect a quiet middle stretch and a festive park atmosphere at the start and finish rather than citywide crowds.
Race-day weather
Mid-December in Monroe is usually mild for winter racing, with starts in the 40s and finishes in the 50s. Rain and humidity are more realistic concerns than hard cold.
