🎅🍺 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
Bread of Life of Palatka is a nonprofit organization dedicated to addressing hunger and food insecurity in Putnam County. Many families are already food insecure, and many more are just one financial crisis away from not knowing where their next meal will come from. Join us as we run, walk, and celebrate while giving back to our community.

Scenic view of

Palatka is a town of 20,000 people (2020) on the banks of St. Johns River in North Central Florida. One of the earliest cities to develop in the state, the city is home to charming historic neighborhoods and notable state landmarks. The area also offers numerous outdoor activities. These range from skydiving and kayaking to boating and golfing. Home to many festivals throughout the year, one event in particular pays homage to the city's most popular flower, the azalea. The flower can be viewed prominently throughout the city in early March, coinciding with riverfront festivities. The unique mixture of southern hospitality and Florida culture make Palatka a "must experience" destination for the roaming traveler.
