The JMH 5K/10K, presented by Gatorade, is the longest, consecutive running event in Jacksonville. 2022 is our 28th year.
Thanks to our 2022 sponsors: Brown's Shoe Fit, O'Shea Builders, Jacksonville Area Visitors and Convention Bureau, The Cubby Hole, Tom Finch Automotive, i3 Broadband, Jacksonville Journal-Courier, Production Xpress, CNB Bank, Collection Professionals, Inc., David Large Professional Painting, The Source and Evan Lloyd Architects.
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 (formerly Passavant Area Hospital).
The first 350 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 10, to guarantee a shirt.
