Greetings,

To all of the 2017 Parkinson Half Marathon and 5K event participants, volunteers and sponsors – “THANK YOU” on behalf of our family committee for making this event once again a huge success on such a wonderful day.  We had over 1,500 people attending the event and as a result we will be sending ~$65,000 to the APDA – WI Chapter.

The Parkinson’s Half Marathon and 5K event funding supports the APDA – WI Chapter, but the event means so much more.  The event is built on a foundation of family and friends love and fellowship, all coming together to make a difference.

There are so many examples of inspiration and love that make this event so rewarding.  Each year the event has shown this time and time again.  Every family and friend hour is volunteered, each coming with love and fellowship.

We are humbled, blessed, honored and grateful for your involvement in the event in your own way.  From all the families and friends who live with the disease on a daily basis, we say “THANK YOU” with all our hearts!

Bob (Roth) you will be forever missed and never forgotten!  To all of you who may have lost a loved one to this disease, our thoughts are with you.

We look forward to 2018 and all our best to you and your loved ones!

Kindest Regards,

Dear Runners,

Saturday is right around the corner.  We wanted to update you on a couple things:

1. Online registration ends Wednesday March 30 at midnight.  Registration will re-open (paper only) on Friday night and Saturday morning.
2. Packet pick up is Friday from 4-7pm at the Cottage Grove Town Hall.  Saturday (Race Day) packet pick up is at 1855 Saloon and Grill from 6:30am until race time.
3. New this year… We will have volunteers stationed at the start line with signs for lining up according to your pace.  Please do your best to estimate how much time you will need to complete the course and line up appropriately.  NOTE: These are NOT Pacers.  They are only intended to get you started roughly around the same pace as the other people around you.
4. Donations can be turned in on both Friday and Saturday at Packet Pick Up and credit will be awarded to you based on your donation level.  You may use this credit toward apparel options.
5. The kids run will take off immediately after the start of the half marathon in order to get it done before the start of the 5k.  Please start staging kids around the same time the half marathoners are lining up.  There are two options this year.  Make sure your child knows which one they are participating in.  The shorter race is geared toward pre-elementary while the long course is more elementary age.
6. We will have the “In Honor of…” and “In Memory of…” banners present at packet pick up.  If you would rather we put down your heroes name please email me at everstrongevents@gmail.com
7. Shuttles will run from all parking lots please take advantage of this and use the designated lots.
8. If you are picking up more than 5 peoples packets at packet pick up please email me with names.  everstrongevents@gmail.com

Looking forward to Saturday!
