More information coming soon! Registration opens June 1, 2026!

However you move, you’re part of changing Parkinson’s. Join us for a powerful day of community, movement, and impact. Whether you’re pushing your pace or taking it one step at a time, every step forward helps drive progress for people living with Parkinson’s.

About the 5KforJK

The annual 5KforJK is a family-friendly event that brings together people living with Parkinson's, their loved ones, and the broader community, and this year, there's a way for everyone to participate!

Choose Your Challenge

🏃🚶 5K Run/Walk (Chipped & Timed)
Take on the full 5K course your way—run or walk—with official race timing and bibs for all participants. Whether you’re aiming for a personal best or walking alongside friends and family, you’re part of the full race-day experience.

💙 Keep Moving Walk (1 Mile, Accessible Route)
A shorter, paved route designed for a more flexible and supportive experience, especially for those living with Parkinson’s or anyone who prefers a gentler pace. Because every step forward matters.

When

Sunday, October 4, 2026
11:30 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.

Where
Olentangy Liberty Middle School Track/Park
7940 Liberty Road, Powell, OH 43065

Why It Matters
What started as a walk for one incredible woman, Jessica Krauser, has grown into a movement for many. Over the years, 5KforJK has raised over $350,000 to fund programs that are truly changing lives:

Changing Parkinson's Wish Kits: Thoughtfully created by Parkinson's patients, for patients, these kits deliver comfort, connection, and hope.
pDNextSteps Gym: A dedicated space and thriving virtual community built around Parkinson's-focused fitness, because movement is medicine.
The Secret Life of Parkinson's Podcast: Amplifying the voices and stories of those living with Parkinson's, so no one feels alone in their journey.

Every dollar raised, every mile walked or run, moves us closer to a stronger, more hopeful future, for patients, caregivers, families, and communities touched by Parkinson's. Together, we're changing what it means to live with Parkinson's.
