Boley Centers Host Jingle Bell Run 4k in Downtown St. Pete to Support Homeless

34th Annual Holiday Run is Dec. 14, 2016 

​Looking for some holiday spirit? It doesn't matter if you run, walk, stroll or saunter — this event will put you in a festive mood.

The Boley Centers Jingle Bell Run supports permanent housing for individuals and families who have been chronically homeless. That's another good reason to run this race.
​
Join the fun on the second Wednesday night in December, as thousands of participants move through downtown St. Pete's waterfront past 1,500 luminaries, 15 bands, and lots and lots of holiday lights and displays.

Everyone is welcome — Santa, elves, reindeer, snowman, strollers and dogs. And, believe me, I've seen everything from Santa with a sleigh and eight reindeer, to drunk elves running this race! It's hilarious.

​Recently, race organizers added "Glow Zones" and race shirts that glow in blacklight, which adds another fun dimension. Racers and spectators hear the jingle of bells and see the glow of holiday lights move through town. ​
