About the race
PDEVV Hub organizes the Tulip Trot for Parkinson’s Disease Awareness each April in Evansville at Garvin Park, named for the tulip, the official flower of Parkinson’s disease. The event includes an in-person timed 5K run, a 1 Mile walk, and a virtual 5K option for participants who cannot attend on site.
An exhibit tent opens on the event morning where participants may fill out a sticker to walk in honor or memory of someone with Parkinson’s, try activities that demonstrate how Parkinson’s can affect movement, and pick up information on local Parkinson’s resources. Awards are presented to the top three male and top three female finishers in the 5K run.
Shirts are available to registrants and are guaranteed for those who register by April 17. Shirt and bib pickup takes place at Garvin Park the day before and the morning of the event, with an evening pickup window offered for groups. Virtual participants receive a mailed t-shirt; a shipping charge of $10.40 applies.
The event is supported by a title sponsor and several additional sponsors and partners, and it is presented to increase awareness and share information about Parkinson’s disease with people affected by PD, their families, and local caregivers.
