🎅🍺 Santa's Jingle Beer Run 5K – Cheers to the Holidays for a Great Cause! 🎄🏃♀️🏃♂️
Lace up your running shoes, throw on your favorite holiday gear, and join us for Santa's Jingle Beer Run! This festive 5K is more than a race—it's a holiday celebration where runners and walkers of all ages can enjoy the spirit of the season while supporting a meaningful cause.
After crossing the finish line, celebrate with a complimentary craft beer (for participants 21 and older with valid ID) or enjoy a festive non-alcoholic beverage. Stick around for music, holiday fun, and plenty of Christmas cheer with friends, family, and fellow runners.
All proceeds benefit Bread of Life of Palatka, helping ensure families throughout our community have access to nutritious meals during the holiday season. Come for the run, stay for the celebration, and leave knowing you've made a difference. ❤️
BENEFICIARY

Join us as we run, walk, and celebrate while giving back to our community.
