Welcome to the 3rd annual I Haiti My Christmas Sweater 5K. This fun 5k is located at Travis Price Park on its beautiful, FLAT greenway. Race course begins at the pond right inside the park and goes to the turnaround at Legion Field and back.
All money goes to support the Emmanuel and Lundy orphanges in Jeremie, Haiti. We will have information race day on future trips to visit the orphanges. Each runner receives a bib complete with an orphan's name to "run for". At each mile marker you will be greeted by pictures of these precious faces!
Each runner gets their choice of a tshirt or tank top with our "UGLY Sweater" motif and a swag bag filled with goodies. You must be registered by June 16, 2016 to be guaranteed a shirt. Race is limited to 250 runners.
Food truck, food booths, crafts and even Santa will be on hand. You don't want to miss this fun event!
