Love Always Jamaica - Hurricane Melissa Relief 5K - Organized by Miss Grand Jamaica 2025 @matea.mahal

The Love Always Jamaica - Hurricane Melissa Relief 5K offers a heartfelt opportunity to run or walk for a vital cause in the beautiful South Florida setting of Coconut Creek. Scheduled for Sunday, March 1, 2026, this 5K untimed run/walk, organized by Miss Grand Jamaica 2025 @matea.mahal, is dedicated to raising essential funds for the victims of Hurricane Melissa. This devastating Category 5 storm left immense destruction across Jamaica, and your participation directly aids relief organizations providing food, clean water, and long-term rebuilding assistance to affected families and communities.

Set within the scenic backdrop of Tradewinds Park, the course promises a pleasant experience for all. This unique "5K in Honor" emphasizes solidarity and community impact rather than personal bests, making it a welcoming event for runners and walkers of every pace. All participants will receive a finisher medal as a token of appreciation for their support. For those unable to attend the in-person event, a virtual 5K option is available, allowing individuals worldwide to contribute to hurricane relief efforts and show their support for the resilience of the Jamaican people. Runners can anticipate typical early March conditions, with comfortable highs around 79F and lows near 63F, accompanied by a minimal 5% chance of precipitation, setting the stage for an inspiring and impactful race day.
