Starting at 7:00pm, this first-ever night run sets in motion an electrifying evening of fun and live entertainment - all with a goal to raise funds and increase awareness for Special Needs.

With a record-breaking 10,000 entrants supporting the event last year, Digicel was able to raise $8.4m, which went towards 12 special needs institutions. The beneficiaries were the Jamaica Autism Support Association, Jamaica Association on Intellectual Disabilities (JAID), Jamaica Association for the Deaf, Jamaica Society for the Blind, Jamaica Down's Syndrome Foundation, Special Olympics Jamaica, STEP Centre, Mustard Seed Communities - Jacob's Ladder, Early Stimulation Plus, NAZ Children's Centre, Genesis Academy, and Liberty Academy.

The Fun Zones are back for the second year and will be expanded to include more ridiculously silly diversions along the race route. 

Featuring MYLAPS BibTag Timing, participants will be treated to premium runner care and special post-race activities.

Kingston BETA | Special October Edition

On Thursday, October 27, 2016, starting at 2:00 pm, the National Gallery of Jamaica will be hosting a panel discussion entitled Kingston: Filming the City. This event aims to explore the the work of filmmakers in depicting and interpreting Kingston life and its environs. Kingston: Filming the City is part of the educational programming associated with the NGJ's current feature exhibition Kingston, Part 1: The City and Art, which opened on July 31 and will now close on November 5. The exhibition utilizes paintings, sculpture, ceramics, film and photography to explore the dynamic between Kingston’s growth as a major commercial as well as cultural centre and the development of Jamaican visual art practice and infrastructure. 

The focus on film for the panel discussion was inspired by the inclusion of two motion-picture works in the exhibition: Chaotic Beauty (2016), a video by emerging Jamaican digital artist Di-Andre Caprice Davis and The Harder They Come (1972), the iconic Jamaican film directed by Perry Henzell and written by himself and Trevor Rhone. Both of these productions have featured Kingston not just as a backdrop to storytelling, but as a key location element that informs narrative progression and character development. Some have argued that The Harder They Come is also a portrait of Kingston and a time-capsule representation of urban life in Jamaica in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Kingston has featured in several other memorable, locally produced and international films, including the first James Bond film Dr No (1962), Rockers (1978), Dancehall Queen (1997), Third World Cop (1999), Better Mus’ Come (2010) and Kingston Paradise (2013). Kingston also serves as the locale and backdrop to numerous Jamaican and other music videos, such as Proteje’s Kingston Be Wise (2013).
 
The discussion on October 27 will be moderated by lecturer of Audio-Visual History at the University of the West Indies (Mona), Dr. Julian Cresser, along with the following panellists:

•	Franklyn "Chappy" St. Juste, veteran cinematographer who has been credited in films such as The Harder They Come (1972), Children of Babylon (1980) and Coolie Pink and Green (2009). St. Juste has also contributed valuable years of service to the Jamaica Information Service (JIS), Creative Production and Training Centre (CPTC) and the Caribbean Institute of Media and Communication (CARIMAC).
•	Natalie Thompson, film producer and managing director of Cinecom. Some of Thompson’s acclaimed productions have included Third World Cop (1999), Knight and Day (2010) and the Marley documentary (2012). 
•	Nile Saulter, cinematographer and film director as well as founding member of New Caribbean Cinema. Some of his notable productions include Coast (2011), Pillowman (2013) and Everblessed (2016), a collaboration between himself and Canadian journalist Jeremy Relph.
•	Randall Richards, emerging photographer, videographer and one of the founders of ARRC Creative Media Ltd. Richards’ recent productions have included the music video for music single by Reggae artiste Protogé, Kingston Be Wise (2013).
Also as an accompanying mini-campaign to the Kingston: Filming The City panel discussion, persons are being invited to create 10 to 20 second videos about Kingston and post them to the NGJ Education Department Facebook page, using the hashtag #ngjkingstonfilm. The final day for posting will be on November 4, 2016. All posts will be reviewed by the National Gallery of Jamaica before appearing on the page’s timeline.

The panel discussion is free and open to the public. Persons in attendance will also have an opportunity to view the Kingston, Part 1: The City and Art exhibition.

No living thing flew over the village of Gibbeah, neither fowl, nor dove, nor crow. Yet few looked above, terrified should an omen come in a shriek or flutter. Nothing flew but dust. It slipped through window blades, door cracks, and the lifting clay of rooftops. Dust coated house and ground, shed and tree, machine and vehicle with a blanket of gray. Dust hid blood, but not remembrance.
"John Crows Devil" - Marlon James

The Pink Run, pink being the colour associated with breast cancer worldwide, is the primary fund raiser for Jamaica Reach to Recovery. All funds raised will provide lifesaving breast cancer treatments to help ease the high cost of diagnosis and treatment, which is out of reach for most Jamaican women. The Jamaica Reach to Recovery is an affiliate of the Jamaica Cancer Society and is staffed by a resilient group of volunteers, all whom are breast cancer survivors, whose sole purpose is to provide emotional, psychological and financial support as well as information and counselling to breast cancer survivors, and by extension their family and friends. 

In 2015, ICWI took the decision to support to the breast cancer survivor community in the countries where they operate. In Jamaica, the Pink Run 5K was selected because it is a pivotal annual event worthy of full support as the Title Sponsor. Since then, the event was renamed the ICWI Pink Run.

The ICWI Pink Run will be held on Saturday, October 29, 2016 at the ICWI building, 2 St. Lucia Avenue, New Kingston starting at 6:30am.
