THE BEST DRESSED CHICKEN REVAMPS ITS “EVERYONE A WINNER” RACE SERIES

PRESENTS $750,000 IN DONATIONS & PROMISES EXCITING ENTERTAINMENT PACKAGES FOR 6th STAGING




More entertainment, medals, prizes, and surprises - The Best Dressed Chicken Everyone’s a Winner Race Series promises to raise the bar with a revamped programme this year, and complementing the upgrade is $750,000 in donations to three national institutions.

At the press launch, the Best Dressed Chicken made cheque presentations of JM$250,000 to the Diabetes Association of Jamaica – one of the company’s main charities – the Heart Foundation of Jamaica, and the University Hospital of the West Indies – The Neurology Department.

“Your fitness choices today will determine your health tomorrow. The investment we are making in Jamaica will help to ensure that people become more aware that they can choose to lead a healthy lifestyle, and we are humbled to be a part of this journey to guide the country on a positive note,” said.

The 6th staging of The Best Dressed Chicken Everyone’s a Winner Race Series have been condensed to two main Sunday events - on April 10, and Father’s Day, June 19 - and will align resources to provide a comprehensive, exciting and engaging experience for participants. Both races will be held at the Hope Botanical Gardens, and the first will feature an 8k run; 5k run, walk and stroller categories; and the June 19 event will move a notch higher, with the introduction of a 9k run, accompanied by the usual 5k run, walk and stroller races.

“Our participants have stressed the importance of variety and the need for an event that challenges their limit, our adjustments will cater to this request, however, we have retained the elements that people have grown to love, so everyone will feel fulfilled,” said Kemble.

Under the revamped series, the first 2000 participants in each race will receive a medal, plus all categories will have awards for the top performers. “We believe everyone who participates is a winner, so we took the idea a step further by providing these additional tokens which will give everyone with a feeling of accomplishment and pride for showing support,” noted Kemble on the rationale for the change.


The races will feature more runner care, refreshments, entertainment and giveaways, and fun. Also in the mix, is a focus on overall well-being as the Heart Foundation of Jamaica will be conducting blood pressure and basic health checks. Kemble adds that both races will have food stations, and special menus to cater to participants who are diabetic. “We are happy to be leading the charge for Everyone’s A Winner Race series, and we look forward to serving all after they cross the finish line,” said Kemble.
