🎄 Fusion MMA & Kickboxing Sponsors the Jingle Bell Jog 5K & Rudolph’s Fun Run in Calverton, NY

Every December, families from all over Suffolk County head out to Lewin’s Christmas Tree Farm in Calverton for one of the most fun holiday traditions on Long Island — the Jingle Bell Jog 5K and Rudolph’s Fun Run. This year, we’re excited to share that Fusion MMA & Kickboxing is an official sponsor of the event!

We love supporting local races, especially ones that bring our community together around fitness, fun, and family. A lot of our members run 5Ks throughout the year, and this one has become a favorite because it’s laid-back, festive, and perfect for kids.

What Happens at the Jingle Bell Jog?

The Jingle Bell Jog 5K is a trail run through the tree farm, starting at 9:00 AM. It’s a mix of grass, gravel, and dirt paths — nothing too crazy, but definitely more fun than a standard road race. Runners even tie bells to their sneakers, so you hear the whole group jingling as they go.

Right before that, kids 12 and under take on Rudolph’s Fun Run, a short ¼-mile loop around the farm. It’s quick, easy, and a great way to get younger kids involved in the holiday spirit.

Families stick around afterward for hot chocolate, pictures with Santa, holiday raffles, and a costume contest. If you’ve never seen a group of runners dressed as elves, reindeer, and snowmen sprinting through a Christmas tree farm… you’re missing out.

Why Fusion Chose to Sponsor

Fusion has always been about more than just kickboxing and jiujitsu. Our gym in Port Jefferson Station is built on community — people getting healthier, challenging themselves, and having fun along the way.

This race checks every box:

• It encourages families to be active together

• It supports local Long Island events

• It brings people outdoors during a season when most folks slow down

• It fits perfectly with our belief that fitness should be fun, not stressful

We’re also proud to support events that welcome beginners. Not everyone feels ready to jump into a class at first, but a friendly 5K or kids fun run is an easy starting point. If someone from the race ends up joining our kickboxing, BJJ, or kids martial arts programs down the road — awesome. But mostly, we just want to see our community moving and enjoying the season.

Come Run With Us!

A few Fusion members are planning to be out there on race morning. If you spot our banner or shirts, say hi! We’ll be cheering for everyone — especially our Little Ninjas who are brave enough to take on Rudolph’s Run.

If you’re looking for something active and festive to do with your family, this is one of the best events around. You can learn more or see the official sponsor list here:
