Boley Centers' 44th Annual Jingle Bell Run

Boley Centers' Jingle Bell Run begins at the downtown St. Petersburg waterfront, near the St. Pete Pier entrance at 2nd Ave. N. and Bayshore Drive NE. This December 5K offers a holiday-party atmosphere, with participants—runners, joggers, walkers, and dogs—moving past lights, local bands, and some artificial snow. This event does not focus on split times; organizers do not use bibs or timers. Participants receive glow necklaces, and food trucks will be present. Beer, wine, and Boozie Pops are available post-run. The event benefits Boley Centers' housing and services for at-risk adults, Veterans, youth, and families, including those who have experienced homelessness.
