Jingle Bell Jog is an established festive charity running event organised by Blythe House Hospice in the Derbyshire spa town of Buxton.
The main 5K takes participants around the picturesque Pavilion Gardens, with runners dressed in Santa suits creating a colourful Christmas spectacle. Starting from the promenade opposite the bandstand, the event brings families, friends and local supporters together for a morning of festive running. A separate 700m Fun Run gives children under 12 the opportunity to join the celebrations.
Entry to the 5K includes a Santa suit, entertainment and a finisher medal, while younger participants receive a Santa hat and medal. A group warm up adds to the festive atmosphere before the races begin. The event raises funds for Blythe House Hospice, supporting patients and families affected by life limiting illnesses across North Derbyshire.
