About this race
The Jingle Bell Run returns to downtown Avon Park this year, starting and finishing at our new race headquarters, The Historic Jacaranda Hotel.
For more than 20 years, this cherished holiday tradition has brought our community together for an evening of Christmas lights, festive fun, and giving back.
Join us as we light up the night and run or walk through Avon Park’s beautifully decorated mile-long mall. This year’s event benefits The Who I Am Foundation, supporting local foster care children and special needs children and adults.
The Children’s Fun Run is a one-block race where kids get to race Santa! Each child will receive a goodie bag at the finish line. Cost is $5.00. Children must be registered to participate.
T-shirts are available for purchase before November 22 to guarantee your size.
We will also be collecting new pajamas on race night to benefit foster care children through Heartland for Children and Worthy and Known Family Projects.
