CB Group UWI 5K set for November 22

They are excelling in the classroom, breaking barriers in their chosen fields of study and, at the same time, making their mark on Jamaica’s sporting stage.

These are among the impressive young scholars who have benefited from the CB Group UWI 5K & Run With Passion Kids K, Jamaica’s premier university fundraising event, which returns for its 15th staging on Sunday, November 22, 2026.

The achievements of the scholarship recipients took centre stage at the launch of this year’s event on Thursday, when the UWI Regional Headquarters was filled to capacity with sponsors, students, scholarship recipients and other stakeholders eager to hear Elizabeth Buchanan-Hind, chair of the CB Group UWI 5K, announce the names of the academically outstanding students selected for scholarships.
