Join Turtle Bay for the 3rd Annual Jingle Bell Fun Run, happening on Saturday, December 6 beginning at 4:00 pm! Get ready to jingle all the way into the holiday season with Turtle Bay’s festive and family-friendly walk/run! Starting at the iconic Sundial Bridge, participants will don bells and follow a scenic 2-mile paved loop through the McConnell Arboretum & Botanical Gardens. For those looking to add a little extra challenge, an optional 1-mile round-trip extension up the steep paved hill to Hilltop Drive will be available, making the full course a 5K (3.1 miles). A special holiday guest will be waiting to greet you at the top. The route ends at the entrance to Turtle Bay’s Garden of Lights, where participants can enjoy the dazzling display of over two million holiday lights! 

Garden of Lights admission is included with registration fee. All proceeds support the education programs, exhibitions, and animals at Turtle Bay.

The Jingle Bell Fun Run is untimed and non-competitive. Bring the whole family and go at your own pace for a holiday evening to remember.
