The JMH 5K/10K, presented by Gatorade, is Saturday, Oct. 19, 2024. The JMH 5K/10K is the longest, consecutive running event in Jacksonville. 2024 is our 30th year.
We appreciate our many sponsors that make our event possible. Our sponsors this year include: Brown's Shoe Fit, O'Shea Builders, Jacksonville Area Visitors and Convention Bureau, Anytime Fitness, Cass Communications, Destination Toys, CNB Bank, The Cubby Hole, Dimond Brothers Insurance, Greenworks, Evan Lloyd Architects, Jacksonville Journal-Courier, HyVee, Production Xpress and Bob Cockrell.
Be prepared for a PR as both courses are flat and fast. Both courses start and finish on the east side of the campus of Jacksonville Memorial Hospital.
The first 200 runners to cross the finish line receive a custom finishers medal. First, second and third place awards are presented to males and females in 16 age categories. All paid runners receive a tech shirt, post-race refreshments and a chance to win some great prizes! We must receive your registration by noon, October 8, to guarantee a shirt.
