5KforJK — Moving Together for Parkinson's. Participate your way with one of these options:
5K Run/Walk (Chip Timed)
✅ 2026 race shirt included. Take on the full 5K course your way, run or walk, with official race timing and bibs for all participants. Whether you’re aiming for a personal best or walking alongside friends and family, you’re part of the full race-day experience.
Keep Moving Walk: Choose your distance. Accessible paved track.
👕 A paved route designed for a more flexible and supportive experience, especially for those living with Parkinson’s or anyone who prefers a gentler pace.
No matter how you move, or the distance you choose, every step makes a difference. The 5KforJK is the signature fundraising event of Changing Parkinson's, a nonprofit dedicated to helping Parkinson's patients live their best lives — lessening the fear of the disease through education, exercise, and community.
Why It Matters:
What started as a walk for one incredible woman — Jessica Krauser — has grown into a movement for many. Every year, 5KforJK has raised over $100,000 to fund programs that are truly changing lives:
Every dollar raised, every mile walked or run, moves us closer to a stronger, more hopeful future — for patients, caregivers, families, and communities touched by Parkinson's. Lace up, show up, and keep moving. Together, we're changing what it means to live with Parkinson's!
