The Merry Main Street Mile returns this season, bringing festive fun and family-friendly fitness to downtown Jackson with the help of Jackson Parks and Recreation Director Jason Lipe. Lipe says the one-mile holiday run is designed for all ages and abilities, offering a cheerful kickstart to the city’s annual Christmas festivities as participants make their way down a decorated Main Street glowing with lights, music, and community spirit. It’s a simple, energetic way to celebrate the season, get people moving, and highlight the charm of Jackson’s historic downtown during the holidays.
