Join Dan and the community for a group movement event along the iconic Boston Marathon route. Walk it, run it, cycle alongside it — this is not a race, it’s a community gathering.

Event FAQ

Do I need to have Parkinson's to participate?
Absolutely not. Our events welcome everyone — people living with Parkinson's, caregivers, family members, allies, and anyone who wants to run for a cause that matters. The pack has room for all of you.
Do I have to run?
Not at all. Walk, cycle, roll, practice yoga, swim — our events welcome any form of movement. Our virtual events are especially flexible: you choose the activity, the distance, and the pace. The only requirement is that you move.
How do I get updates about new events?
Subscribe to our newsletter, follow us on social media, or join our community at community.html. We announce events through all of these channels as soon as details are confirmed.
Can I volunteer at events?
Yes — and we need you. See our get-involved page for volunteer roles and requirements, or contact us directly at contact.html. Event volunteers are the backbone of everything we do in person.
