About This Event

The Jingle Bell Run is a children's 3K run along Southbourne promenade in Dorset on December 12, 2026. The event is held in conjunction with a Christmas theme. The run is a 3K distance and is suitable for children. All participants will receive a medal and a 'Jingle Bell'.

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, festive tunes to get everyone in the festive spirit and face painting for junior runners. There will also be the opportunity to decorate your own race bib! Santa and his helpers will also be on hand.

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.
