The College of Science, Technology and Applied Arts of Trinidad and Tobago (COSTAATT) successfully hosted its 13th Annual Run For Life 5K & Health Fair on Sunday, May 31, 2026, bringing together approximately 400 runners, walkers, students, staff, alumni, corporate partners and members of the public for a morning dedicated to health, wellness and community engagement.
Leading the field was Nicholas Romany, who captured the men’s title in an impressive time of 15:16, while Alexia Johnclaimed the women’s title in 20:00. The event’s Mardi Gras theme inspired participants to showcase their creativity, with Kirstin Ramroop taking home the prize for Best Male Costume and 13-year-old Mikayla Lewis earning the award for Best Female Costume.
Participants followed a scenic route through Port of Spain before returning to the COSTAATT City Campus, where a vibrant Race Village awaited. Along the course, a music truck kept energy levels high with soca music, encouraging both competitive runners and recreational participants as they made their way to the finish line.
The event extended beyond the race itself through a comprehensive Health Fair, which offered free health screenings, wellness information and opportunities for participants to engage directly with healthcare professionals. The combination of physical activity and health education reflected COSTAATT’s ongoing commitment to promoting healthier lifestyles and supporting the well-being of the communities it serves.
