The 3rd staging of the Kingston City Run presents a weekend of pure adrenalin and fun incorporating three race events: A ½ Marathon, 10K and 5K race/walk. The weekend kicks
off on Friday with a Welcome Carnival Party hosted by Bacchanal Jamaica at Mas Camp.
Saturday will feature a Health Fair and Expo with a pre-race party in the evening in association with Kingston Kitchen. Visitors are encouraged to get out and explore Kingston’s great
dining venues and night spots with the locals.
Race Day is Sunday morning . Special focus will again be placed on community spirit, encouraging communities to line the streets to support the runners/walkers and provide
unique and interesting activities for spectators. The awards ceremony will be hosted in
Emancipation Park right after the race.
The route received rave reviews in 2014 and highlights Kingston’s most iconic attractions
including Emancipation Park, Devon House, Hope Botanical Gardens, Bob Marley Museum,
Vale Royal, Jamaica House and Kings House to name a few. The route will start at picturesque Emancipation Park located on Knutsford Boulevard, New Kingston.
Proceeds from this exciting venture will go towards general care, protection and sustenance for the Homeless. While aiming to reduce the number of Homeless persons on the
streets, plans are also in place to support skills training, preventative measures and health
crisis interventions for those who are mentally challenged.
NMIA Airports Ltd is again a proud sponsor of this venture.
