About this adventure
The Bee Cave Chamber of Commerce's Jingle Bell 5K brings a holiday run, walk or stroll to Hill Country Galleria on the first Saturday of December, with a separate Kids Dash for children. The morning opens with a group warm-up and stretch, then the professionally timed 5K, with the Kids Dash after it, followed by food and drinks at the Galleria. Every Kids Dash runner receives a finisher jingle-bell medal, while 5K medals go to the top three male and female finishers in each age group, including a 1–12 group. The course is stroller-friendly and the event is designed for all experience levels; children 0–18 can run the Kids Dash, though many 12 and older choose the 5K, and younger children should be accompanied by a parent or guardian. The first 100 registrants get a race shirt, with kids' sizes for the first 25 Kids Dash registrations. There is no race-day registration and the race goes ahead rain or shine.
