Jingle Bell 5K - Orlando, FL

Jingle Bell 5K - Orlando, FL is a festive, family-friendly 5K (3.1 miles) held in Orlando, Florida, on December 12, 2026, to benefit the Arthritis Foundation. The 5K is untimed and starts at 8:00 AM alongside a 1-mile event, so families can split up by distance and still start together. Participants of all ages and abilities are invited to wear their favorite holiday outfit, and registration includes a T-shirt, jingle bells, and a medal.

Because the 5K is untimed, this is less about a PR and more about getting out on a Saturday morning for a cause. That makes it a natural first race for someone who has been building up with run-walk intervals, or an easy-paced outing for a regular runner between harder efforts. If you are bringing children, the 1-mile option gives them a distance they can finish proudly. Show up early enough to pin your bells on, and enjoy the costumes around you.
