Jingle Bell Beach Run - Kailua-Kona, Hawaii - Running

The Jingle Bell Beach Run is a Running race in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii consisting of a 5K.

Kailua-Kona's premier 5k race! Start time is at 7:30 AM SHARP. The two featured distances (5-kilometer & 1-mile) encourages participation from all fitness levels and running backgrounds. Great fun for everyone, family oriented - a perfect addition to your holiday celebrations!

The Jingle Bell Beach Run began in December of 2005 in an effort to kick off Christmas week with a bang! The idea blossomed from the creative mind of Rani The RoadRunner (Tanimoto) Henderson who aimed to give this run a Christmas twist.

One thing Henderson strived for was to keep this run simple and fun. With that in mind, and together with the help of her husband Penn, it has grown over the last few years into a first-class event - one that participants remember, enjoy, and return year after year for more! In addition, awards are given out to the top overall finishers as well as the top three best dressed Christmas costumes. Raffle prizes follow the awards, so it's very hard for one to go home empty handed!
