Jingle Bell Run

12th Dec 2026

Approved TRA permit no.8263

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.) 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.
