2020 Wrightsville Beach Jingle Bell Run Results

The Wrightsville Beach Museum of History is excited for this year’s race to start and end the race at the newly-renovated 1924 Bordeaux Cottage on the museum campus! The museum’s Jingle Bell Run follows along the beach Loop, with views of coastal cottages, lovely marshes and snowy egrets. At this festive time of year runners don holiday costumes of all sorts, culminating in some especially creative team costumes and a variety of pets adorned in all sorts of seasonal attire. Join in the holiday festivities for the most fun run at Wrightsville Beach!

NOTE:  This race is now a 5K, rather than a 3 Mile as in the past.
