About this event

2nd Annual Team Kopacz 5K Run/Walk

Knock Out the Miles for Parkinson's Disease

Sun, September 20th, 2026 - 8:30 AM

Sucker Lake 4500 Rice St Vandais Heights, MN

Team Kopacz is a 501(c)3 foundation supporting Parkinson’s Disease(PD) research. After 7 years of hosting a successful golf event and raising over $250,000 for Parkinson’s research, last year we pivoted to a 5K Run/Walk. Our inaugural event was a huge success and we raised $20,000 for Parkinson's exercise research at the U of MN.

Exercise is a significant part of Jason’s symptom management since he was diagnosed at the age of 36 with Young Onset Parkinson’s Disease. Exercise is the only treatment currently thought to slow the progression of PD. This year Team Kopacz is fundraising to support the U of MN SPARX3 trial. This trial is studying different levels of exercise intensity and how these affect PD symptoms and progression. Come join us in knocking out the miles to support PD research.

There will be something for everyone with options for a 5K Run/Walk, a 1 mile stroll and a Kid's Dash!
