It's the most wonderful time ... for a beer!
The mission of the Jingle Bell 5k Beer Run is to be active, have fun and give back to our local community. All proceeds go towards PATH (People for Active Transportation Hawaii), a community-based, grassroots 501(c)(3) non-profit public access organization serving Hawaii County. PATH's mission is to champion and educate on safe, accessible, and active transportation opportunities in communities throughout Hawai’i Island. We believe safe, equitable transportation options promote healthy people, healthy communities, healthy land, and a healthy planet. The PATH board of directors, staff and supporters believe that publicly accessible trails, bikeways and pathways do much to revive Hawaii’s unique history, allow us to live sustainably as islanders, preserve our fragile natural environment and build strong community relationships.
So not only do you get to enjoy some healthy activity and great beer - you are helping us support a local organization that does important work in our community.
