Walk & Run the Park in Support of Parkinson’s Nebraska

Get ready and get set to go…LOCAL! Please make plans to join Parkinson’s Nebraska (www.parkinsonsnebraska.org) at Elmwood Park on Sunday, September 30 for a beautiful day in the park with the local Parkinson’s community!

The Walk & Run the Park for Parkinson’s event has something for everyone–a 1.25-mile loop through Elmwood Park is a great workout (or a leisurely stroll) for walkers, the park setting offers plenty of space for the kids to run around, there will be entertaining performances featuring the Country Kickers America and groups from the local Parkinson’s community, awesome t-shirts, and a delightful picnic brunch sponsored by Anderson Convenience Market in the beautiful Elmwood Pavilion.

Parkinson’s Nebraska is very excited to be “shaking things up” this year with the addition of a professionally-timed 5K Race, the 1st Annual “Shake-a-Leg 5K!” The organization has teamed up with Peak Performance to offer runners of all ages and abilities a refreshing 5K (3.1 mile) course through scenic Elmwood Park!

You know that the people who bring you the Skate-a-Thon every year know how to throw a great party, and 96.1 KISS FM’s own Montez will show you that they know how to have fun even without ice skates! As always, all of the funds raised at this event will stay right HERE in Nebraska to support the LOCAL Parkinson’s community!

Registration is open! Get signed up today at runsignup.com/Race/NE/Omaha/WalkandRuntheParkforParkinsonsNE. Sponsorship and volunteer opportunities are also available.
