Not a runner or just want to come cheer on the runners, instead? That's great! Come join us on race day and check out all the activities the MSU HPE Club has to offer. There will be pickleball!

🚗 Race Day Parking Info 🚗

We can’t wait to see you at the HUB 5th Annual Fighting Back Against Parkinson’s 5K & 1-Mile Fun Run, and we want to make sure your morning goes smoothly!

Please see the map below for available parking and take note of the following parking guidelines:

❌ Parking WILL NOT BE PERMITTED in the lot between the softball field and the CFSB Center or along the outfield fence of the softball field. This is where the start/finish line will be and where all pre- & post-race activities will take place.

❌ Parking in the circle drive in front of the lower lobby of the CFSB Center is permitted for late packet pick-up ONLY. Once you have checked in, we ask that you move to one of the other available lots.

♿ The upper CFSB Center lot will be reserved for Handicap Parking only. We want to reserve these spots for our boxers with Parkinson's and those who have handicap parking tags. Some of them will be participating in the 1-mile and 5K races, so we want to make sure their legs are fresh!

✅ All other participants and spectators are asked to park in the lot behind the CFSB Center or behind Stewart Stadium and walk up to the event area
