Boley Centers' 44th Annual Jingle Bell Run
The Boley Centers' 44th Annual Jingle Bell Run is a non-competitive holiday event held in St. Petersburg, Florida. The event takes place on a evening in December, starting near the entrance to the St. Pete Pier and the Museum of Fine Arts. This gathering focuses on community involvement and festive atmosphere rather than competition, as the event does not use timing chips or bib numbers.
Participants follow a specific course distance:
- 5 km
The route is decorated with holiday displays, featuring twinkling lights and a snow effect. Live local bands perform along the course to provide entertainment. Participants are encouraged to wear provided glow necklaces, and the event is open to runners, joggers, walkers, and dogs.
On-site amenities include local food trucks offering various refreshments for purchase, including beer, wine, and specialty frozen treats. Proceeds from the event support community programs providing housing and services for veterans, youth, families, and adults at risk of homelessness.
Registration includes a commemorative shirt, which participants can receive via mail or at several local pickup locations in St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and Palm Harbor prior to the event. For those driving to the venue, parking is available at the SouthCore Garage on 1st Ave S. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
