  Join us for the 14th Annual Choose to Move Race on Saturday, April 25, 2026!

  This year, Choose to Move is back LIVE — and we’re excited to also offer a VIRTUAL/REMOTE race option!

  Whether you join us in person or run, walk, or roll through your own neighborhood, you can be part of the movement to make a difference.

  What’s a virtual/remote race?

  A virtual race lets you participate from anywhere! You complete the race distance on your own — in your neighborhood, a park, on a treadmill — wherever you choose. You'll still be part of our event and mission, just from wherever you are!

  We are thrilled for another amazing year as we RACE TO BEAT PARKINSON’S DISEASE!

  Choose to Move is a vital fundraiser for the Indiana Parkinson Foundation, supporting critical programs like The CLIMB exercise classes, support groups, and educational resources for individuals and families affected by Parkinson’s. Your participation and fundraising efforts directly impact the lives of those we serve — helping us expand our reach and bridge the gap in care.

  Sign up today, create a team, and start fundraising!

  We can’t wait to race with you — in person or remotely — on Saturday, April 25, 2026!

  -- Registration cost for after-school practices and the 3-meet series is $19 plus processing fees. Team t-shirts are offered for purchase for $10. While shirts are OPTIONAL it should be noted that approximately 90% of participants order shirts. Shirts are custom; therefore no refunds, no late orders can be accepted.

  -- The 3 meets are: Wednesday, April 29th; Tuesday, May 5th; and Thursday, May 14th @ the Carmel HS Track beginning at 6:30 pm. Practice schedule for your specific school club will be posted on our website as soon as it is determined by your school.

  -- There are NO LATE REGISTRATION & NO REFUNDS. Registration will close April 1st. FINAL rosters are sent to the schools April 2, 2026. In the interest of safety, we do NOT make changes to the rosters as it adds confusion during the very hectic school dismissal time. The Pup Running season is very short; therefore, once registration closes, bibs, t-shirts and ribbons are ordered in preparation for our fast-approaching first meet. Please help us spread the word about registration and the FIRM deadline!

  NOTE: Select "I am completing this form for "SOMEONE ELSE" and enter your runner's information as it should appear on their race bib.
