Organiser's Description

The Jingle Bell Run  is a Christmas-themed children's 3K along the promenade at Southbourne, Dorset.

All children will receive a medal, a ‘Jingle Bell’ Christmas tree decoration and a sweet treat.

Festive-themed dress is encouraged (Santa suit, Grinch hat, Christmas fairy, donkey etc.) and there will be games and activities to keep everyone busy. 

The route is flat and tarmacked, making it suitable for all ages. Adults can run with children.

NB The route is out and back so if needed children can turn around when they want to; they do not have to complete the whole 3K. Please note there will be no official results for this run as not all participants will compete the whole course.

This event is licensed by the TRA and will be run under UKA rules.
