Event Description

Welcome to the 7th Annual I Haiti My Christmas Sweater 5K Run.  This fun 5K is located at Travis Price Park on its beautiful, FLAT greenway.  Race course begins right past the pond inside park and goes to turnaround at Legion Field and back.

All money goes to support the children of Jeremie, Haiti.  Each runner receives a bib complete with an orphans name to "run for".  At each mile marker you will be greeted with pictures of these precious faces.

Event details and schedule

Due to the current pandemic and social distancing regulations, we are limiting the race to 150 for the 5k and 25 for the children's fun run.  In the event that restrictions are applied by the local government, we will become a virtual race and you will be contacted.  Please include your email address in your registration for updates.  

There will be no registration and packet pick up at the race in order to limit crowds.  We will be annoucing a packet pick up time prior to race.
