JIFINYC FUN RUN/WALK 5K EVENT 2026

The JIFINYC Fun Run/Walk is a community 5K held in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, with a listed race distance of 3.5 miles. This annual fundraising run and walk is presented by Jamaica Independence Foundation Inc., a New York charitable nonprofit connected to Jamaica Independence celebrations. The route is contained within Prospect Park, not on city streets. The event is designed for runners and walkers, not exclusively competitive racers. Entry fees and net proceeds support partner charities. JIFINYC directs its efforts toward women and families in crisis, and toward youth programs that foster academic and athletic development.
