The 2024 Jameson 5K will take place on the campus of Southwestern University once again! We will also have a virtual option so everyone can participate!

About the Jameson 5K
The Jameson 5K at Southwestern began in 2001 as a way of honoring the memory of Jaysn Flynn Jameson and to increase the endowment of the Jaysn Jameson Memorial Scholarship Fund at Southwestern University. Each year of the race our goal is to improve upon the last year and build the race to a premiere event for the University and Georgetown.
The 24th Annual Jameson 5K will be in person again using the Cross-Country Course at Southwestern University. There will also be the virtual event from Friday, October 25 – Sunday, October 27 for those not able to be in Georgetown for the actual race on Saturday, October 26. We will have trophies for the top runners in each age category as well as lots of door prizes and a post-race party. The start / finish line will be on the Cross-Country Course below the Football field. The Post-Race Party will be on the back porch of the Robertson Center (Gym).
