About the Tulip Trot for Parkinson's Disease Awareness 5K Run/ 1 Mile Walk

The Tulip Trot is built around Parkinson's awareness, and the tulip that gives the race its name is the flower associated with the disease. The course options cover a range of paces and abilities. An exhibit tent opens before the start where you can pick up information about Parkinson's resources, try a simulation of what the disease feels like, or add a sticker honoring someone you know.

Packet pickup runs the evening before the race at the park, with additional pickup available race morning. The start area includes the exhibit tent, which is worth arriving early for. Those who cannot attend in person can participate remotely and have race materials mailed to them.

Common Questions About the Tulip Trot for Parkinson's Disease Awareness 5K Run/ 1 Mile Walk

Will I finish last at the Tulip Trot for Parkinson's Disease Awareness 5K Run/ 1 Mile Walk?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 37:57, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:05:13, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Tulip Trot for Parkinson's Disease Awareness 5K Run/ 1 Mile Walk a good first 5K?

It is a small race (142 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 Tulip Trot for Parkinson's Disease Awareness 5K Run/ 1 Mile Walk?

The 5K winner ran 19:41 while the median finisher took 37:57. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
