Tulip Trot for Parkinson’s Disease Awareness 5K
PDEVV Hub organizes the Tulip Trot in April at Garvin Park, 1600 N Main St, Evansville, IN. The event is held during Parkinson’s Awareness Month and is named for the tulip, the official flower of Parkinson’s disease. The organizer aims to provide people with Parkinson’s, family members, health care workers, and other community members information about Parkinson’s disease and local resources available in the tristate area.
Available event options include:
- 5K Run/Walk
- 1 mile Walk
- Virtual 5K
An exhibit tent is available before the in-person event where attendees can fill out a sticker to walk in honor or memory of someone with Parkinson’s, try an experience that demonstrates Parkinson’s symptoms, and pick up informational materials and local resource information. Virtual participants may complete the 5K on their own; shirts for virtual participants are mailed after the in-person walk and a shipping fee applies. Shirt and bib pickup is arranged at Garvin Park before the in-person event. A registration fee of $25 applies to the listed event options. Awards are presented to the top three male and top three female finishers in the 5K run.
Sponsors include The Crescent-Cresline-Wabash Plastics Foundation Inc as title sponsor, along with organizations such as AbbVie, Acadia, Charles & Charles Elder Law Attorneys, Forefront Therapy, Parkview Care Center, SongShine Evansville, Transfers by Jess, Gilkey Chiropractic Clinic, International Paper, Oasis Senior Advisors, Perfect Climate Heating Air & Plumbing, and United Fidelity Bank.
