 #  Run for Parkinson's 

 

   

    

 The Parkinson's Champions are racing toward a cure! Our Parkinson’s Champions athletes raise funds and awareness for the Parkinson’s Foundation while competing in some of the world’s most popular endurance events. Every step we take brings us closer to a future without Parkinson’s disease, because Parkinson’s isn’t a sprint, it’s a marathon. Are you ready to **\#Run4PD**?

**To signup, find your preferred race from the list below and click REGISTER FOR IN-PERSON. You will either be directed to fill out an application or taken directly to the team page where you can register immediately.**

 **[VIEW CURRENT RACE AVAILABILITY](http:/www3.parkinson.org/site/PageNavigator/Run4PDRaceStatus.html)**

 - ###   Ways to Run   
    
    ### Official Race Teams
    
    The Parkinson’s Foundation is registered as an official charity partner with some of the world’s most popular race events. As a charity partner we offer bibs at little or no cost to our athletes in exchange for a commitment to fundraise for the Parkinson’s Foundation. We provide athletes with fun benefits including race gear, training support, celebration get-togethers and more. We offer direct registration for many of our races. Click through the listings below to see the fundraising commitments and register. For more popular races and our Abbott World Majors, fill out our [Race Application](https://parkinsonsfoundation.tfaforms.net/23).
    
    ### Honorary Athletes
    
    Have you already purchased your own bib/entry to any of the races we have a team for? Since they don’t need to use one of our limited team bibs/entries, Honorary Athletes get all the same benefits as official team members, but only need to hit a fundraising minimum of $500. To join us as an Honorary Athlete, just email us at **<Run4PD@Parkinson.org>** and let us know which race you are signed up for.
    
    ### Champions Global Races
    
    Parkinson’s Champions have gone global! Through our partnership with RealBuzz you can take part in races all around the world as a Parkinson’s Champions Athlete. Visit our [RealBuzz page](https://www.realbuzz.com/charities/the-parkinsons-foundation?fbclid=IwY2xjawN4jmRleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFoUHVkRnRaZHZ3aFRkM2pjc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHtPeV2EOdHiboAbhDeImQUZLVS-CvwWWPZU4UgpuGGQA7Z966wkCM68EHZtv_aem_61pxYa7y2ohitgjgaC4eUQ) to see the list and sign up now! International Abbott World Majors (Tokyo, Sydney, Capetown and London) have a separate application below.
    
    ### Run Your Own Race
    
    Through our Run Your Own Race program, athletes can take part in ANY fitness event anywhere in the world. Athletes purchase their own bib/entry to the race event, set their own fundraising goal and compete on race day as a Parkinson’s Champion. Runners who raise more than $500 are eligible to receive a running shirt for race day. [Follow the steps to register here](https://secure3.convio.net/prkorg/site/SPageNavigator/Parkinsons_Community_Fundraiser.html) and select the *Run a Race* registration type.
- ###   VIP Program
