Over 60 athletes raced through the dark streets of Blountstown, Florida on Friday evening, 2 December 2011, but it was Blountstown High School cross-country runner Thomas Howell who won the third annual Jingle Bell 5K. The Blountstown High freshman covered the course in 18:12, almost exactly a minute faster than the 19:13 he ran in the 2010 race where he placed third. Well behind Howell, his Blountstown High teammates Cheston Goodman and Will McClellan duked it out for second place, with Goodman narrowly prevailing 21:51 to 21:52. Fourth place went to the top master in the race, Mark McCarra, in 22:11.
Judy Alexander of Tallahassee's Gulf Winds Track Club repeated as the fastest woman and first woman master, placing sixth overall in 23:21. Katie Cox, a cross-country runner at Altha Public School, was the second female finisher, eleventh overall in 24:01.This year's Jingle Bell 5K started and finished at Blountstown Middle School, looping around the north side of Blountstown. Some runners had difficulty following the course, but it was nothing that couldn't be solved by large chalk arrows and vocal course marshals. The 5K was followed by a one-mile fun run.
