Boley Centers' 44th Annual Jingle Bell Run
About This Event
Boley Centers’ 44th Annual Jingle Bell Run - Friday, 12/11/2026
Get ready to dash through a 5k wonderland of twinkling lights, jammin' live local bands, and even a sprinkle of snow! You'll be glowing with your glow necklaces as you join a pack of merry runners, joggers, walkers, and their furry sidekicks. We will have local food trucks on hand for you to purchase pre-fuel or even refuel along with beer, wine, and cheeky Boozie Pops. No bibs or timers here—just heaps of fun and holiday cheer!
**This year’s Jingle Bell Run holds special meaning as we honor Gary MacMath, former President & CEO of Boley Centers and founder of this beloved Tampa Bay tradition. Gary passed away in July, and we run in his memory and in celebration of His vision. He created a tradition that has supported thousands of individuals on their path to independence and we hope you will join us in honoring his legacy on December 11. **
By joining in the festivities, you're helping to support housing and services for at risk adults, Veterans, youth, and families in our community—many of whom have faced homelessness. Jump in and help us BUILD BETTER TOMORROWS TODAY by signing up now!
