CVRR Jingle Bell Run 2026

On December 6, 2026, the Comox Valley Road Runners invite runners of all ages to join the Jingle Bell Run at Seal Bay Park's HardyRoad parking lot. Participants can choose between two distances: a scenic 7.3K Forest Loop or an accessible 3K route that includes both loops for those looking for a shorter option.
The event kicks off with festive singing and lively announcements starting at 9:50 am, followed by the run/walk start time at 10:00 am. Runners are encouraged to dress up in their holiday best as they make their way through the forested trails of Seal Bay Park, enjoying the crisp winter air and scenic views.
Proceeds from this annual fundraiser go directly to the Comox Valley Food Bank, with registration fees ranging from $10 for individuals to $20 for families. Those who donate $20 or more will receive an automatic tax receipt through Race Roster.
After the run/walk, participants can warm up with hot chocolate and coffee while indulging in delicious cookies at the finish line area. The event also features a special appearance by Santa Claus, adding to the festive atmosphere.
Registration is now open on the CVRR website where runners can select their distance and make donations directly to support local food bank efforts.
