About this event
The Digicel Imagine 5K on Saturday, October 22, 2016 will again shine a light on our Special Needs community as thousands of Extraordinary Jamaicans will take to the streets to race through downtown Kingston. Starting at 7:00pm, this first-ever night run sets in motion an electrifying evening of fun and live entertainment - all with a goal to raise funds and increase awareness for Special Needs.
With a record-breaking 10,000 entrants supporting the event last year, Digicel was able to raise $8.4m, which went towards 12 special needs institutions. The beneficiaries were the Jamaica Autism Support Association, Jamaica Association on Intellectual Disabilities (JAID), Jamaica Association for the Deaf, Jamaica Society for the Blind, Jamaica Down's Syndrome Foundation, Special Olympics Jamaica, STEP Centre, Mustard Seed Communities - Jacob's Ladder, Early Stimulation Plus, NAZ Children's Centre, Genesis Academy, and Liberty Academy.
The Fun Zones are back for the second year and will be expanded to include more ridiculously silly diversions along the race route.
Featuring MYLAPS BibTag Timing, participants will be treated to premium runner care and special post-race activities.
