Registration for our Run/Walk will provide entry to our in-person event on Saturday, December 17 in Central Park. Along with entry to our event, all participants will receive a race packet that will include a race bib and participation medal to be collected at our packet pick-up.
In addition to those items, participants will have the opportunity to earn an event t-shirt by fundraising $100 and an MJFF-branded tote bag for fundraising $500 or more. Although fundraising is not required, we encourage all participants to raise additional funds. Remember, your contributions go a long way as 100 percent of the proceeds go straight to high-impact research programs to speed a cure for Parkinson's.
Online registration will close on Wednesday, 12/14 at noon. Walk-up registration will be available at bib pick-up and on event day.
