After raising a record $8.2 million for the Linstead Public Hospital last year, the Tru-Juice 5K Run/Walk is returning on Sunday, June 7, with organisers aiming to surpass last year’s turnout of 4,800 registered participants and deepen the event’s impact on healthcare in St Catherine, with Linstead Public Hospital being the beneficiary.
This year’s staging is expected to offer an even more enjoyable race-day experience, with organisers adjusting the main venue to reduce congestion and improve the before-and-after flow for participants. Runners and walkers are also being encouraged to bring a change of clothes and enjoy a refreshing post-race dip in the river that runs through the Tru-Juice property.
Peter McConnell, managing director of Trade Winds Citrus Limited, said the event remains deeply personal to the company because of its connection to the communities surrounding its Bog Walk operations. He noted that while Trade Winds Citrus Limited supports initiatives across Jamaica, Linstead, Bog Walk, and Ewarton remain priority communities for the company.
