Jingle jog: Villagers planning for second holiday lights run tonight

A group of hardy Villagers and other locals are heading out this evening for the second annual Prairie Village Christmas lights run. The group will meet at Johnny’s in Corinth Square around 6:15 p.m. and hit the streets at 6:30 p.m. They plan on knocking off around five miles at a conversational pace along a route that will pass by some of the best holiday lights in the area — and then finishing the evening off with some celebratory libations at Johnny’s.

So if you: 1.) love holiday lights, and 2.) like, or at least can tolerate, running, it’s a great event to combine Christmas merriment and exercise. And not many of those opportunities exist. Holiday-oriented apparel is encouraged.
