The 2014 edition of the Everyone's A Winner Best Dressed Chicken Road Race Series takes you to 5K and beyond! The first of the 3-race series begins on Sunday, March 23rd with a 5K, increases to 6K on Sunday, April 13th and finish-
es with a 7K on Sunday, June 15th.
Staged in the iconic Hope Gardens, we've added MyLaps chip timing and ramped up the finish line party atmosphere
with more tastings and refreshments, live entertainment and more age group awards from 10 to 70 years old and over.
Back by popular demand, are your favourites: a cool down misting tent courtesy of Lumitech, post-race massages by Bella Oasis Day Spa and health checks by the Heart Foundation of Jamaica.
Each race is limited to 2,000 entrants, so don't wait!

Need to Export or Import a Pet?
If you are looking for some-
one to help navigate you
through the import or export
process, I highly recom-
mend contacting Charmaine Townsend
Charmaine was able to guide me through the
process and attend all the necessary ap-
pointments and obtain paperwork on my be-
half. She is very personable, great with ani-
mals, and highly responsive.

Maria Jose Parker,
from the US Embassy,

RECOMMENDATION: I highly recom-mend Terry-Ann. I have been happy with the clothing she has made for me, and I actually wear them. I’ve had several items sewn for me at previous posts (such as Philippines, Ecuador and Mexi-co )and ended up throwing them away because I wasn’t happy with the work. The best thing about her is she comes to you—she picks up and drops off items at the embassy. Other people I know who have clothes altered or made are also happy with her. Contact her at [email protected].
