Welcome to the race registration website for the Run for Haiti 5K. I created this virtual 5K race that you can run wherever you want during the month of October, 2021, to raise funds for the non-profit Haitian Health Foundation ( https://www.haitianhealthfoundation.org ), which is dedicated to improving the health and well-being of children, women, and families in Haiti.
Why should you run this race? Haiti needs help. Haiti is a tiny country in the Caribbean--the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. It has been battered by hurricanes and the very recent and devastating earthquake, and has no tourism. The hardworking, proud people are struggling to feed their children.
Why did I create this race? My name is G. Haiti is my homeland. I was born there 24 years ago, and lived there until I was 12. Much of that time, I lived in an orphanage because my family, like so many other families, could not afford to feed and care for me. I was eventually adopted by a U.S. family but encountered many difficulties along the way including essentially becoming homeless. Through hard work and perseverance and the help of many caring people, I received scholarship assistance to complete college, and graduated in 2021. I’m a runner and a graphic designer, and now I want to help others in my homeland Haiti.
Where will my Registration Fee go? The Run for Haiti 5K will donate 100% of proceeds to the Haitian Health Foundation. https://www.haitianhealthfoundation.org
What will I receive for my $35 Registration Fee? I designed a unique and colorful Haiti 5k bib number and poster each runner will receive. Once you register the bib number and poster will be emailed to you as a PDF. In addition you'll receive a Haiti 5K t-shirt with an original logo designed by me, G.The t-shirt will be mailed to you 6 to 8 weeks after the Run for Haiti 5K race.
Can I donate and not run? You bet. Just click on the Donate button above. Every little bit helps. Thank you.
