Description

Welcome to the NPF/Hope Gardens JN Group Race for Hope 5K & Kids Fun Run 2027 Online Registration.

The Race for Hope is an annual 5K run/walk that began in 2012 to raise funds and awareness for the redevelopment of the Hope Royal Botanic Gardens. Over the years, it has become a signature event that promotes physical fitness while championing environmental preservation, wellness, and community spirit.

This year, the 2027 staging of the race will support two critical causes:

• Infrastructure Rehabilitation at Hope Gardens – including maintenance of internal roads that are essential for visitor access, school tours, and hosting of public events.
• The Jamaica Environmental Trust Schools Environmental Education and Climate Awareness Programme.

Join us in running for a purpose—whether you walk, jog, or sprint, every step makes a difference. Come be a part of a vibrant community event that blends fun, fitness, and philanthropy.

Let’s race for hope, for heritage, and for healing.
