About the race
The Jingle Bell Beach Run is a holiday-themed 5K event held in Kailua-Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii each December. The event presents a family-oriented fun run format and a festive atmosphere tied to the holiday season.
Event programming includes a featured 5K fun run, Santa's Keiki Dash for children ages 6 and under which is offered free of charge, and a costume contest that has been held on the Sunday before Christmas in Kailua-Kona since 2005. The costume contest showcases holiday-themed outfits and is presented as a long standing tradition of the event.
Registration is handled online and is open from August 1 to December 19; there is no race day registration. The event partners with PATH Hawaii to promote active transportation on the island. Each year the Jingle Bell Beach Run also acknowledges a deserving organization or individual that has supported the Big Island community. Local organizations and sponsors support the event.
