CVRR Jingle Bell Run 2026
The CVRR Jingle Bell Run is a community fundraiser held at the Seal Bay Nature Park parking lot on Hardy Road in Courtenay, BC. The event raises money for the Comox Valley Food Bank and states that all money collected is donated to the food bank. Donations of $20 or more receive a tax receipt issued through Race Roster.
Distances offered:
- 7.3K Forest Loop only
- 3K Forest Loop then onto Your Spirit
Race Central is located at Hardy Road and both distances start and finish in the same place. The 7.3K follows the Forest Loop; the 3K begins on the Forest Loop and turns left onto Your Spirit after about 2K. The event schedule includes singing, announcements, prizes, a visit from Santa, and a run or walk start time.
Food and beverage options mentioned include cookies, hot chocolate, and coffee. The event asks participants to leave dogs at home for safety and notes that this is an unsupervised charity run. The organizers plan to hold the event rain or shine; participants are advised to bring extra dry layers. In the case of extremely inclement weather the event may be postponed to Sunday the 13th.
