About the Parkinson's Awareness Run/Walk

The longer course mixes trail and pavement, so expect to shift surfaces at least once along the way. The shorter course stays entirely on pavement and is wheelchair accessible. Both distances support the Parkinson's community in Fredericksburg, with proceeds going to local Parkinson's and therapeutic wellness programs.

Packet pickup is available the day before at the Ron Rosner Family YMCA, and again on race morning at the same location before the start. The race begins from that YMCA, so it also serves as your staging area.

Common Questions About the Parkinson's Awareness Run/Walk

Will I finish last at the Parkinson's Awareness Run/Walk?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 45:40, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:09:27, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Parkinson's Awareness Run/Walk a good first 5K?

It is a small race (72 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. 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 Parkinson's Awareness Run/Walk?

The 5K winner ran 24:23 while the median finisher took 45:40. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
