About

The Jjk5 K, or JJK 5K Run & Walk, takes runners onto the same track where NASCAR drivers race, at World Wide Technology Raceway in Madison, Illinois, on September 6, 2027. Held in honor of Olympic champion Jackie Joyner-Kersee, it offers a challenging 5K (3.1-mile) run or a shorter 1.25-mile walk, both starting at 9:00 a.m.

Both options support her foundation's commitment to developing leadership and character in young people in East St. Louis, with proceeds funding essential programs for emerging local talent.
