WE OFFERED A MORE COMFORTABLE VIEWING AREA WITH A TENT, SEATING, COOLING FANS (WHICH HELPED AS IT WAS A TOASTY DAY) AND SPECIFIC PARKING NEAR THE START/FINISH LINE, SO THEY HAD AN EXCITING VIEW!
IN 2026 WE LOOK FORWARD TO ANOTHER FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITY TO RAISE MONEY FOR THE AMERICAN PARKINSONS DISEASE ASSOCIATION RESEARCH. WE WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE MEMORIAL OR HONOR NAME BADGES FOR RUNNERS TO WEAR WITH NAMES OF OUR PARKINSONS HEROES. PLEASE LET US KNOW OF NAMES AND ADDRESSES OF THOSE YOU KNOW WITH PARKINSONS, SO WE CAN CONTACT THEM OR YOU ABOUT OUR RACE, NAME BADGES, AND RECOGNITION.
