Get Ready for Christmas in Hawaii with Some Holiday Fun!
Since 2005, the Sunday before Christmas in Hawaii has become known for Kona’s popular holiday-themed 5k running event – the Jingle Bell Beach Run. Taking place in Kailua-Kona on the Big Island, participants of all ages, fitness levels, and running abilities gather to show off their holiday spirit with unique costumes and running attire.
TOP 3 BEST

The top three best dressed will win fabulous prizes from our Sponsors. Must walk or run with your costume to be eligible.
Need some costume inspiration? Please view our gallery pages from previous years to get an idea of some of the incredibly creative holiday attire that has been worn. And remember, since Christmas in Hawaii is warm and sunny, the possibilities are endless! Some of the standout Christmas costumes have included: full-sized reindeer, larger-than-life snowballs, walking Christmas trees, and, of course, many Santas!
Not everybody wears a costume. Many participants wear holiday “colors” red, white, green, etc. The most important thing is that you show up to have fun! IE – No Grinches allowed!
Please keep in mind that when considering a costume, you will be walking and/or running in it! So, design accordingly (Make sure you can easily move, your vision is not impaired, and your costume cannot injure or harm others in any way). Let’s have some fun, but please be safe.
Mahalo!
