Who: Everyone. Street Meet is free and open to the public.
(Of course, you might want to bring your wallet so you can enjoy some
Jamaican food, buy a t-shirt, or bet your friends that you can run
faster than 17 miles per hour.)
What: Street Meet is a fun and unique running event dropped
in the middle of a Jamaican street carnival. There will be open events
in which anyone can participate, followed by the main events, which pit
the fastest from Jamaica against the fastest from Boston and New York.
If you're one of the fastest people in an "open" event, you'll advance
to the "main" events. (See Event Details)
When: Sunday, April 26, 1-6pm. Open events begin promptly at
1:00 and will end at 4:00. Entry into these events is on a first come,
first serve basis, so don't roll down at 3:00 thinking you'll cruise
into the final. The main events will start at approximately 4:30.
Why: Because Usain Bolt wants to see how fast you are. (And because there's good music, tasty food, Puma City, beautiful views of the city, five Jamaican Olympians, and fun and exciting races.)
