Haiti Guide: Running Events in Haiti


For those interested in participating in an organized running event in Haiti. These are the major events I am aware of. If you know of others, please share!


Haiti 3-Day Ultra Run -- Thursday, March 1st, 2018
by Run Haiti
Amazing route along the most popular hiking trail in Haiti. With that being said, will be an event for serious runners.

Jacmel Bay 5k -- Friday, March 9th, 2018
by Run Haiti
The day before the Jacmel 20k. A great event for those not interested in the 20k.

In my opinion, the best running event in Haiti. Well organized and a beautiful course. Just be sure to do lots of training on hills!

Les Cayes 1/2 Marathon & 5k -- Sunday April 15th, 2018
I believe this is the first event by this group. According to their email response to my question, "it is definitely going to take place." Hopefully it does and hopefully it goes well.
