About the Jingle Bell 5K and 1 Mile Run/Walk
Ronnie's Run is held in Apollo Beach and honors two siblings lost to addiction and liver failure. The race was started by their mother as a way to carry their memory forward and to connect families who have faced the same kind of grief. It draws people who are there for something beyond a finish time.
The cause is woven into the morning. This is a race built around awareness and support for families affected by addiction and alcoholism, and the crowd tends to reflect that, people who know the weight behind it and show up anyway.

The Jingle Bell 5K and 1 Mile Run/Walk has been held every year since at least 2015. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
