Event Description

The Jamaica Hi-5 Foundation, in partnership with the Jamaican Consulate Southeastern United States, is thrilled to announce the sixth annual Jamaica Hi-5 5K Run/Walk. 

This vibrant event promises participants an exhilarating experience filled with pulsating reggae music along the course and culminating in a lively post-run/walk celebration. Top finishers and teams will be awarded prizes, and all attendees can look forward to enjoying delicious Jamaican food, captivating music, and live performances.

The festivities will kick off at 7:30 a.m., with simultaneous events in five cities across the Southern USA, including Miramar, FL; Atlanta, GA; Houston, TX; and Phoenix, AZ. A virtual race option is also available for participants who prefer to join remotely.

Proceeds from the 5K Run/Walk will continue to support the five Health Clinics adopted by the Diaspora community of the Southern USA. These clinics, located in Port Antonio, Portland; Riversdale, St. Catherine; Bamboo, St. Ann; and Highgate, St. Mary, play a crucial role in improving access to primary health care in Jamaica.
