Parkinson's Steady Strides 5K 2025

🏃‍♂️ Parkinson’s Steady Strides 5K

Dedicated to the physical, mental, emotional and social needs of those living with Parkinson’s disease in the Greater Dayton/Cincinnati metroplex, Parkinson Support & Wellness exists to help those with PD learn about the disease, which empowers individuals to take control and make connections with local resources like support and exercise groups.

Steady Strides, a timed 5K race and walk brings people together to raise funds for our mission to serve the local Parkinson community. These funds go directly toward financial grants made to local exercise and therapy organizations and to essential educational programs like PD-EDU.

Our big day isn't just a 5k: it's a joyful gathering of our community and a demonstration of the impact we can make when we work together. Free food from some of our area’s iconic brands, musical entertainment and a Basket Raffle extravaganza will be found in the Wetterer’s Way concourse adjacent to the Start/Finish line.

🤝 Fundraising Teams

• Core Groups: Friends and family teams are the core that makes Steady Strides a financial success and a truly communal gathering.
• Common Connection: Joined by a common connection to Parkinson Disease, these groups come together to assure that the support services vital to an active life are available.
• Fun Focus: Teams take on their own personalities and make sure to include fun as a focus of the day.
• Community Support: Teams solicit sponsors from their communities and across their social media groups as well, raising awareness and growing contributions.

Team captains are supported by the Steady Strides Race Committee and will be contacted by the committee to assist in recruiting.
