## About

The Jingle Bell Fun Run opens Christmas on Walnut Street at 11 a.m. in Spring Park. Green Cove Springs describes it as free and open to all ages, with walkers and runners both welcome and no cost to take part; participants complete the form linked on the city page. It is a short, informal holiday run rather than a timed race, and it finishes in time for the afternoon Santa visits and the 6 p.m. parade down U.S. Hwy 17.
