The event celebrates fitness, teamwork, island pride, and the vibrant culture that powers one of the Caribbean’s busiest aviation hubs. From sunrise starts on the tarmac and the cheers of participants to the breakfast celebration afterward, this series dives into the stories that make PJIA not just a place planes land, but a place where people, 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩.
