About the Pals In Motion

The race takes place at a high school, with a route open to both runners and walkers. Beyond the run itself, the morning includes an obstacle course, a relay, field day activities, art, and music, all organized around raising support for people living with Parkinson's disease. The event is anchored in that mission throughout.

Registration and check-in open early on the morning of the event, well before the start. A virtual participation option exists for anyone who cannot make it in person.

Common Questions About the Pals In Motion

Will I finish last at the Pals In Motion?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 31:07, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:08:10, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Pals In Motion a good first 5K?

A field of 226 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Pals In Motion?

The 5K winner ran 17:30 while the median finisher took 31:07. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
