The Annual Jolly Holly Run is back for its 28th year! Our Future First is thrilled to continue serving as the host for Millville’s iconic holiday event and the oldest 5k in Cumberland County! The Jolly Holly returns in 2023 after our most successful year in 2022. This event will continue to have something for everyone and will be an incredible start to the holiday season!

  • Fast and competitive 5k course with recognition of top finishers
  • Timed 1-mile run for all runners of all levels & ages with recognition of top finishers
  • 1-mile fun walk to get out and participate in the festivities

The Jolly Holly serves as a major fundraiser for Our Future First and our partnering nonprofit, Positive Vibes Community Group. These funds will help us as we open our doors to Reese’s House, our multifaceted community center in Millville, and will also help Positive Vibes continue their great work in offering various sports and other programs to the community. The support received goes a long way in helping both our organizations build community in Millville and throughout Cumberland County.

We are asking for support from local businesses, organizations, and individuals to sponsor the event! We had almost 200 runners participate in last year’s event and we are anticipating an increase in registrants as we continue to revamp this classic tradition. Feel free to share this information with anybody you know who might be interested. Please check out the sponsor levels below and confirm your place for this much-anticipated night! Your support is greatly appreciated! If interested, please email contact@ourfuturefirst.org for more information and to secure your spot as a sponsor!
