5 events in Coconut Creek, Florida

On Sunday, March 1, 2026, the South Florida community will gather at Tradewinds Park for the 5K for Jamaica, a heartfelt event dedicated to supporting the victims of Hurricane Melissa. This historic storm, which struck the island as a powerful Category 5, left a trail of immense destruction that continues to impact families and infrastructure across Jamaica. By participating in this 5K, attendees are helping to raise essential funds for relief organizations working on the ground to provide food, clean water, and long-term rebuilding assistance to those who lost everything in the disaster. No matter where you are in the world, you can still join the effort by walking, jogging, or running in honor of Jamaica and sharing in the mission to support hurricane relief, though our Virtual 5K! Virtual participants can submit race times on March 1, 2026 between 8:00am and 12:00pm (noon).

​It is important to note that this event is not a timed race, but rather a "5K in Honor" of the resilience and strength of the Jamaican people. Whether you choose to walk, jog, or run the distance, the focus remains on solidarity and community impact rather than personal bests. All participants will receive a finisher medal for your support. Set against the scenic backdrop of Coconut Creek’s Tradewinds Park, the day promises to be a powerful tribute to those affected, offering a space for neighbors and friends to come together in the spirit of hope and recovery.
