🎊👟We are back with a 5K & 10K Run for Parkinson's that is BIGGER and BETTER than ever! 👟
We are thrilled to announce that the 2025 PJP Run for Parkinson's will be held on Saturday, October 4th, 2025, in beautiful Farragut, Tennessee! Join us early or stay afterward to explore our engaging Health Exhibition. Since its inception in 2015, PJ Parkinson's Support has continually evolved, starting with our inaugural walk-a-thon and introducing the 5K run in 2019. After a successful first 10K Run in 2024, we can't wait to bring you an even more exciting second 10K run!
Parkinson's Support Groups from across East Tennessee are uniting for an event dedicated to raising awareness and highlighting local efforts to support individuals living with Parkinson's disease and their families. Together, we will champion this vital cause! Our goal for the 2024 Run for Parkinson's is to foster a deeper understanding of this progressive and degenerative nervous system disorder and to create a compassionate environment that provides support for patients and their families.
