About Us

The Guardian Group “Keep It Alive” 5K Night Run is a corporate charity race event held annually to raise funds in aid of Jamaica’s health care sector. The event is hosted by the Guardian Group Foundation, the non-profit arm of Guardian Life Limited.

The inaugural Guardian Group “Keep It Alive” 5K Night Run was held on Saturday, June 21, 2014 in New Kingston with a record number of over 6000 participants for a first-time night run.

In 2015, the event evolved into a double night run, with one in the capital Kingston and one in the second city of Montego Bay.
