CB Group UWI 5K Date: November 16, 2014 Location: Jamaica Kingston & St. Andrew
The 2014 edition of the race is being held under the patronage of the Honourable Douglas Orane, CD and Mr Howard Mitchell and is slated for Sunday, November 16 at 7:00 am. starting at the UWI Mona Bowl.
Organisers of the event said this year the goal is to double the number of registrants and to raise $15 million to continue funding the scholarship initiative as well as to finance the purchase of much needed equipment for the University Hospital of the West Indies (UHWI) Dialysis Unit.
The event last year recorded 3,000 registered participants and raised $10 million.
This has brought the total to $28 million over two years, making it the most successful 5K in Jamaica based on the ratio of participants to funds raised. The proceeds go directly into student development through sporting and academic scholarships.
