This race, organized by the JFK Rotary Club, has evolved from a 10K to a 5K format to enhance safety and logistics.

The event features various registration options, including discounts for students, and offers post-race refreshments. Awards will be given to top finishers in various categories. The race emphasizes security and provides shuttle services for participants arriving by public transport. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
