We are back with our Annual 5K for Parkinson's! "Costumes for a Cause for PJParkinson's"

We are thrilled to announce that the 2026 PJP 5k for Parkinson's "Costumes for a Cause for PJParkinson's 5k will be held on Saturday, October 31st, 2026, 9 a.m., in beautiful Sequoyah Hills, Tennessee! Since its inception in 2015, PJ Parkinson's Support's run has continually evolved, starting with our inaugural walk-a-thon and introducing the 5K in 2019. 

Parkinson's Support Groups from across East Tennessee are uniting for an event dedicated to raising awareness and highlighting local efforts to support individuals living with Parkinson's disease and their families. Together, we will champion this vital cause!
