Jingle Bell Run
The Jingle Bell Run is a Christmas themed children's 3K along the promenade at Southbourne Beach, Bournemouth, Dorset. The route is flat and tarmacked and is described as suitable for all ages; adults may run with children. The course is out and back so children may turn around at any point and do not have to complete the full 3K.
All children receive a medal, a "Jingle Bell" Christmas tree decoration and a sweet treat. Festive dress is encouraged with examples including Santa suit, Grinch hat, Christmas fairy or donkey. The event program includes games and activities, festive tunes and face painting for junior runners. Santa and helpers are present during the event.
No official results are produced for this run because not all participants are expected to complete the whole course. The event is licensed by the TRA and will be run under UKA rules. Entry is listed at £11.
