She then slows down to a walk, before bending down to write "2025" in the sand with her finger - in celebration of the New Year.
The mum-of-two then runs back towards the camera smiling.
The video is believed to have been filmed by Prince Harry, 40, in Montecito, California, near the couple's home.

The picture was posted by professional surfer and surf coach Raimana Van Bastolaer as part of a reel - but later deleted.
The caption read: "Don't hate but be happy & keep smiling. Brother HARRY, Let's go for 2025!"
The pic is said to have likely been taken in October of this year when Prince Harry was captured chasing waves on video at an exclusive ranch in California.
He navigated the waters at surfing legend Kelly Slater's Surf Ranch in Leemore, over 100 miles from the ocean.
The video was posted to Tahiti-based pro surfer Raimana Van Bastolaer's Instragram account.
Harry is seen in the clip taming the wave, with the caption reading: "In Tahiti, we still call you Prince Harry.
"But at Surf Ranch, it's my brother. It was an honour to have you surf with me and Kelly Slater."
Fans said in response he is living his "California dream life" and implied such passions will mean he'll never come back to the UK.
The Duke, 40, begins by riding on the board alongside Van Bastolaer's jet ski, then he pulls away and leaps up onto his feet as the wave builds.
The pro gives Harry instructions as he finds his balance and rides the man made 6ft barrelling wave for almost one minute.
